How do I remove tab scrolling?
I would like to see all of my tabs in the tab bar without having to scroll. I realize this "shrinks" the tab, sometimes to where they are not readable, but that's what I want.
I open about 20 stock pages and I can easily read the symbol of the stock when the tab is very small. The tab scroll bars and "drop down list" are very cumbersome. Is there something I can change in my about:config to get this back?
Thanks, Gene

This is a sample of what my tabs looks like...
Hi,
You can try right-clicking on the tabs and Pin as App Tab. This way you would be able to have more than 40 tabs opened without scrolling.
That didn't work. First off, it just turns the tab into an icon (then you can't see what site/stock it is). Second, you have to pin each tab every time you start firefox... it doesn't automatically pin the tabs.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I might end up going back to FF 3.?? Too many changes that are not reversible.
I like to have a status bar, but I I had to install a plugin for that. I like to have my RMB menu in the same order, but I had to install a plug in for that. I like to NOT have scrollable tabs, but I'm not sure if that possible.
Why all these changes that aren't beneficial, yet they are not reversible through about:config. This was the main reason I ditched Internet Explorer in the first place :(

The status bar is now known as Add-on Bar in View (or Alt + V) > Toolbars.
I agree that pinning is a bit cumbersome and the icons reveal little, but once you have it in place restarting or exiting / starting Firefox wouldn't change that. I have the about:config browser.allTabs.previews set to true, so the drop down list (the second button from the right of the tab bar in your pic) is more useful.
Thanks. The custom width add-on did the trick so far. I just amaazes me that the developers of FF remove functionality that made them popular in the first place.
