I really do like the new vertical tabs and I have them set to be just icons until you hover the mouse over them and then they fly out and I can read the names of the tabs. My problem is that when I switch a tab or do anything that makes the tabs expand to see their full names if I take the cursor off they fly back in but if I put the cursor on any area of how far the tabs came out to in the next few seconds they come out again even though I haven't put my cursor over the tab icon. This is really annoying for forums and really for general browsing as if I switch to a tab and want to interact with anything where the tabs came out to I have to wait like 5-10 seconds before I can click anything on that part of the page or else the tabs come flying out again. Is there any way to make it so the second my cursor isn't over the tab fly out that they will go back to the compact mode and won't come back out unless I hover over the tab icon again to alleviate this problem? I find I will often switch to a tab and then move my cursor off to the page and the names collapse so there are only icons left but I try to interact with something on the left side of the page and the tabs fly out way before my cursor goes near the tab icon and I have to take my cursor to the right then try going back to interact with that element and most of the time I have to go back and forth a few times before the tabs stop flying out so I can interact with that portion of the left side of the web page. I really like the vertical tabs but I want to be able to edit the time it takes for them to not fly back out if your cursor goes to where they had flown out to immediately, so zero seconds, instead of the 3-10 seconds or whatever it is set at by default.

Thanks!

When I want to duplicate a tab, can I configure the 'duplicated' tab so it appears exactly next to the tab I'm duplicating instead of at the end of all the open tabs at the far right end of my browser? If I can't would it be too much of a bother to include that as an option we can configure? Maybe it's ridiculous or I'm using the interface wrong but it's super annoying to have to manually grab the duplicated tab and scoot it back next to the tab you duplicated from. Thanks!

Recently, whenever i have to quit firefox, my tabs have all disappeared upon opening. I have tried all the suggestions in the Mozilla help and nothing seems to work. This used to happen from time to time which was frustrating but now it happens every time I need to quit firefox. "Recently closed tabs" and "recently closed windows" are greyed out when I try to use that. and there is nothing in "restore previous history". Thank you for your help.

Hi there! I find the new sidebar (on the left for me) a great addition but is there a way to reverse the "top to bottom" tabs displaying order?

Not a way to move tabs, but a setting allowing, when opening a new tab (Ctrl+t), to place (and display) the icon on top of the tabs icons pile, not at the bottom.

I get that it's the opposite of the normal reading direction, but it's rather unnatural to go looking at the bottom of the screen for recently opened tabs, IMHO.

Thanks in advance if you can address this, or show me where I can find such setting.

How can I load group of tabs I have a previously saved? I checked the article about tab groups: https://mzl.la/4iQYJr3

I'm using the vertical tab bar. I cannot find the List All Tabs toolbar icon shown in parentheses. Thanks for the help.
