How can I make the List All Tabs button show permanently in Firefox Quantum?
Do any developers look at these questions? If not - how do I address a question or feature request to the developers?
I used to use an add-on for this, but it's not compatible with Quantum.
Why don't the app designers realize that a list is ALWAYS the better way to display available tabs? Even with only a few tabs, the tab titles are ALWAYS too long to fit into the tab handles. If you ask me: get rid of the tab handles completely - they are a waste of screen space - and just give me the List All Tabs button (and Ctrl-Tab of course) all the time.
OK - rant is over - but since Firefox is able to decide on its own whether or not to show this button, it would have to be a snap to add an option to give the user control over that instead. Please do this!
Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt, normally, the button is hidden until the tabs bar "overflows." This can be counteracted using a custom style rule:
/* All Tabs Button Always Visible */
#alltabs-button {
visibility: visible !important;
}
You can apply custom style rules to Firefox's toolbar area using a userChrome.css file. If you've never created on before, this page should get you started: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html
It does look a little odd sitting out there near the end of the tab bar all by its lonesome, but if that's what you're used to, this should work for you.
Or... have you ever considered having your tabs in the sidebar?
jscher2000: Thanks for the tip re Tree Style Tab! It looks pretty good. I tried something like this sometime several months back - I don't remember the name, but it was a pain to use and I tossed it out after a few days.
For me this is maybe even better than the List All Tabs button: 1) I can display and hide it without using the mouse, and 2) unlike the built-in Tabs list, it doesn't close as soon as I click on an entry.
The only shortcoming compared to the native list is fairly minor: hovering over an entry calls up only a tool tip that reiterates the (already-visible) tab title. In the native list, this will also display the actual web address at the bottom of the browser window.
I find it interesting that in the Windows version of Firefox, this add-on seems to completely suppress the List All Tabs button, whereas the button still appears normally in the Mac version.
Thanks again! I might at some point look into your other tip regarding the custom style rule, but maybe more just to get an idea of what kinds of customization are possible using that approach.
Best regards, Matt
P.S. Can I ask a somewhat personal question? How do you manage to have time for this? :-)
