Since I left Opera when it went Chromium around 2005, I was a very happy firefox user.

The new update added a button 'List all tabs' on my toolbar, that I cant remove without some css magic. I tried, and tried to get use to it. I cant. It distract me all the time, I have no use for it. And I dont have the patience to do the css editing needed to hide it. Plus, this is the first time I cant easily customize FF, so I suppose the browser is toast for me.

What do you recommend for a change? I recall at a time using some browser build on Firefox , "BlueFox" or something like that. Are those still operational? I just need a my speedial customisable And all the menu button to be removed/added. That's almost all. Dont care for speed, or whatever.

Thanks, Just installed it. Doesnt seems to have an import option from firefox, only Edgme, Chrome and IE.

EDIT: NeverMind: I imported the files by hand.

EDIT2 : uninstalled: Their "core design" is having Tab to the left. May make sense on small device. On PC , I need to be see the name of my tab at a glance. So I need them horizontally

Gosh, I didn't realize the tabs couldn't be set to horizontal. That's a likely deal breaker for a lot of people.

I figured I'd give vertical tabs a chance (I usually keep too many tabs open to see their name anyway, and I understand the rational behind them), but not at all sure I'll stick with it. Hopefully they'll add support for horizontal tabs soon.

I came upon one post from them saying : vertical tab is "core design" we wont change it, or remove it. Bold statement, if not a wrong one.

I'm happy to have it as the default behaviour, as long as it can be easily changed. Similar to Vivaldi I guess.
