Currently the 3rd most requested feature on Mozilla Connect is native vertical tabs: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/native-vertical-tabs-li...

Any chance we could see something like this in Pulse Browser or is that something that just requires touching too much of the underlying code base to be viable? ^^

Please not just vertical, I need my trees. Sidebery works pretty well though. Sometimes updates are a little delayed, but it's not very bad. Native support and optimizations for Sidebery should do the trick.
This would be huge for me. I can't really move away from Edge for productivity/work use cases until I have vertical tabs to a comparable usability in another browser.
I don't know how you can deal with just vertical tabs. Sidebery (FF extension) offers tree tabs and it's really cool.
I thought Tree Style Tab was the preferred Fx add-on.
I prefer Sidebery because it feels faster, more reliable (TST seems to struggle much harder with a higher number) and has a prettier default theme.

I think it also has many more config options, but I'm quite happy with the defaults.

Vertical tabs are indeed big for me, but I’ll add that it’s critical that it be possible to hide the unnecessarily huge and ugly sidebar header, which is the biggest problem plaguing vertical tab extensions on Firefox. Right now that requires userchrome edits which is ridiculous.
