Decreasing the size of Firefox’s tabs

Firefox 2.0? Ho-hum. After all, how can such a great browser impress us further? But a spellchecker’s there, & that’s always good; and a feed reader, which unfortunately didn’t live up to the standards of Sage.

The scrolling tabs need some time to get used to. The tabs are also wider. This means that it only takes a few tabs to be open for it to start scrolling — not fun for the multi-tasker in you.

There is a way to decrease the size of the tabs, though:

  1. Enter the following in the address bar:
    about:config

  2. Look for browser.tabs.tabminWidth & doubeclick it.

  • Enter desired size. The default is 100 pixels. You can set it to 80 or 90.
