I'm using the vertical tabs feature. I also tried enabling the "Expand sidebar on hover" option, which minimizes the side bar, and only expands it when you hover on it.

Issue: I have a lot of open tabs, and I'm usually working with the ones at the bottom of the list. When the bar minimizes the scroll position resets back to the beginning. So, every time I want to select a tab, I have to scroll back down, which makes this feature very hard to use.

Expected behavior: After the vertical bar minimizes, and I hover again, it should keep the scroll position.

This problem is still occurring for me in Firefox 141! If my tab list is scrolled all the way down, collapsing/expanding the sidebar will scroll up the list one position, so the bottom tab is no longer visible. The only solution I've found is to keep a dummy tab at the bottom position to mitigate this behavior.
