Tab scrolling disabling

shahvaz1979

Good day dear Mozilla Firefox team. I am confused with tab scrolling function and there is no option in settings to stop scrolling . It is more convenient for me to see small but all tabs opened without hiding them under scrolling arrow. Please take in consideration this question by adding new option in setting allowing user to disable scrolling function. God bless you. Have a nice day.

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn’t currently have a setting to disable tab scrolling once you have enough tabs open to exceed the available space.

You can reduce the tab width under Settings → General → Tabs by turning on Use compact tab size, which lets more tabs fit before scrolling starts. An extension may also be able to change tab behavior, but there isn’t a built-in option to permanently show all tabs.
