How can I get Firefox to squash the tabs up so they all fit? I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

When I get to about 11 tabs, then it fills the whole screen and the rest scroll off the side. Where is there a "zoom" function of some sort that gives me the option to get the squashed into the width of the screen.

I've tried searching help and answers and it doesn't seem to be discussed anywhere. I also looked in the options for tabs and don't see anything there.

Firefox 56 has a minimum tab width of 100 pixels and no user-configurable setting to override that. Firefox 57 is going to change that somewhat, with a default of 76 pixels that users can override down to a minimum width of 50 pixels.

You can command Firefox to use a lower minimum using a custom style rule in a userChrome.css file. For example:

.tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]) {
  min-width: 40px !important;
}

For steps to create the file, see https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1164362#answer-978078 (or any number of resources on the web)
