Looks ugly in windows. And show to on the right is not working. Waiting for a better version. :)

Agreed! My work was done on OSX, as a proof of concept. My colleague Hayden is doing some great work to carry it forward, including Windows support (https://github.com/dhdemerson/VerticalTabs https://github.com/dhdemerson/VerticalTabs)

  Why it needs Windows support? Isn't it just an xul, js and css using xulrunner on every platform? Sorry, I ask because I never code in xul before.

"show on the right" required a restart after being checked to work for me in linux. Perhaps that helps?

  Oddly enough, the apparent lack of the setting (or maybe it didn't seem to work) drove me to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/side-tabs/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/side-tabs/ around six or eight months ago.

    About two hours later, I've switched back: Vertical Tabs is very slow, and makes Firefox 30 on Ubuntu 14.04 seem slow. Ah, well.

    Second time i find myself plugging this add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... You can put it on either side, and it doesn't look as ugly as "side-tabs" that you linked to. No, I'm not the author or anything, I've just been using this thing for a good solid few years. And I can't believe people are now falling for this silly side-tabs prototype when a perfectly Good, 100% working side/tree tab add on is already available and mature.

      I totally agree that side-tabs isn't the prettiest thing in the world. That said, the tree-style-tabs addon seems to be built around a concept that I don't need, which is why I hadn't really considered it before. It does seem to be fast, though, so I'll give it a try for a while and see if my life improves. Thanks!
