- Firefox Nightly 131 introduces vertical tabs and an improved sidebar, enhancing tab management and multitasking for users with many open tabs.
- The vertical tabs feature, similar to Microsoft Edge, keeps tabs organized on the left-hand side and can be customized via Firefox Labs settings.
- Additional features include AI chatbot integration in the sidebar and ongoing development of tab grouping and profile management tools.
I don’t quite see the lure of vertical tabs.
Nowadays most websites leaves half of your horizontal space empty on high resolution monitors, so you have a lot of unused real estate. Verticals tabs can also fit in more tabs while showing tab title and can implement features like collapsible tabs.
Tiling WM though?
I do, I have a 2K display with lots of horizontal space. Vertical tabs allow me to better group and see tab names in vertical space rather than trying to line up truncated tab names on a horizontal axis.
