Multiple Tab Rows in Firefox

Luke Johnson

New versions of Firefox removed some support for extensions that allowed multiple tab rows.

Update:

  • make sure that the toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets pref in the about:config is still set to true
  • use this for newer versions of Firefox https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/chrome/multi-row_tabs.css

 

Here is how you can enable it:

  1. Type about:support in url field of firefox, hit enter.
  2. On the ‘Profile Folder’ setting (about 8th from the top) click the ‘Open Folder’ button.
  3. Create a ‘chrome’ subfolder, if you don’t already have one.
  4. Inside that folder create a file called ‘userChrome.css’ (right click > new > text document – make sure to name the file userChrome.css and not userChrome.css.txt or something)
  5. Firefox 65 and newer:
    Open the file for editing and paste the contents of this file: https://github.com/MrOtherGuy/firefox-csshacks/blob/master/chrome/multi-row_tabs.css 
    Versions before Firefox 65:
    Open the file for editing and paste the contents of this file:

  6. Restart FF and you should have multi row tabs
