I searched for the keywords “vert” and “tabs” and found nothing.

Sidebery is an excellent extension for that. I really doubt Mozilla is going to make one as good as that.
Do you have experience with tree style tabs extensions also?
Yeah, sidebery is much much better
I used Sideberry for a while, but I tried out one called Tab Stash and I think it’s much better overall than Sideberry personally
Is there an extension to drag out tabs seamlessly into another window like you can do with chromium.
Isn’t this already built in?
No, I don’t think so. You can drag out windows but they don’t for example snap to the corners immediately, so you have to release them first and then pick them up again.
I looked into it further at one point, there’s some other change that needs to happen before that feature can me implemented. The issue was documented over a decade ago… but I’d have to learn a ton about how FF works to even start to understand how to make the changes needed.
I can say that for now, the logic is pretty basic, hide the tab, attach a little screenshot of the tab to the cursor, create a window with the content of that tab if the mouse is released outside of the browser window.
Maybe I’ll dig into the code again at some point
I don’t understand how you don’t notice the difference between how chrome handles dragging tabs and how FF does. And all the people who upvoted you too.
We must have very different ways of using our computers. I’m regularly dragging a tab out to put it side by side with another window, and it seems like FF tabs are the only thing I drag around that don’t behave as expected. It’s glaringly obvious every time it happens, and it’s minuscule friction points like this that drive me nuts when I run into them repeatedly, day after day, for years.
Edit: the behaviour with FF is, you drag the tab out of the original FF window, release your mouse. A new window is created, then you can drag that window around place it as usual.
who the fuck uses chrome??
Virtually everyone in the world uses some chromium based browser. In my case, I use edge when I need a chromium based browser as it’s the chromium browser installed by default on my heathenous windows machine.
i can drag tabs from window to window, don’t know how you all use your computers…
But if you have your tabs in one window, and you want to create a new window by dragging a tab out of the single existing window.
It’s in the nightly builds, although when they announced it they (bizarrely) received a lot of hate for it, so I’m not sure they’ll continue development.
Why would people hate on them for adding a commonly requested feature?
I have no idea. I just remember the thread where they announced it there was a lot of vitriol over it. I remember a couple were due to it “not being original”, which seems like an insane reason to me.
Another security feature added is the blocking of downloading files from URLs that are on lists of potentially dangerous content.
Yeah, I’m not sure blocking HTTP downloads by default is a good idea, I mean many offices probably have some internal legacy HTTP only sites that nobody dares to touch, that are perfectly safe being HTTP (if you have hackers inside your network a simple intranet site spoofing is your least problem), and disabling this security option might have a lot of wider repercussions
I get it, but you’re arguing in favour of negligent IT. If nobody dares to touch something, it is a liability.
I would say he’s arguing in favour of practicality
There’s no good reason to be using :80 even internally.
