Can I increase the size of the tabs? They're too small to conveniently click

I think I will get used to the new version of firefox since you can move around the refresh button back to it's previous position, bring back the bookmarks menu instead of having to open up the window etc. but one thing I really do not appreciate in the new update is the opened tab width.

I used to easily be able to click without looking each of my tabs (I have a lot open) but now I have to look at them to make sure I click the right one since they're so narrow

Is there any way you could customize the width of the open tabs?

It's a bit hidden, but there is a way to do this:

  1. Type "about:config" in the address bar.
  2. Click the "I accept the risk" button.
  3. type "browser.tabs.tabMinWidth" in the searchbox.
  4. double-click on the item that appears.
  5. type in the minimum tab width (in pixels) that you want. The default value is 76 pixels wide, so if you want your tabs to be around twice as wide as they are now you would enter 152, etc.

Hope this helps!
