I don’t care about the size of the tabs, I just liked it when the tab you clicked on became the center tab and the tabs to the far right or left were slightly off the screen. By clicking a few times on the far left or right tab you could cycle through all the tabs. This ez to use feature is gone as far as I can tell and I have found no fix for it anywhere. Most people don’t seem to even have any idea what I’m talkin about and simply want to make the tabs smaller or keep on using the scroll arrows (which I find most inconvenient). If anyone can tell me how to keep the tabs the same size but cycle through them the old way (simply by clicking on a tab in the tab bar) I’d REALLY appreciate it.

I can not get it to work. My resolution is set to 1280×1024 and I can’t open more than 4 tabs without this stupid feature coming on. I have set the value to zero and 200 and it makes no difference. Is there a conflict with any extensions at all or am I missing something here??

I’m still hanging on to 1.5 because of this. What I want is the chrome setting that gets rid of the gratuituous curved space between tabs and decenters the favicon again so that the first letters of the title can appear to the right. And no, scrolling with a mouse wheel is not the desired option, as newly opened tabs appear at one end while the page I’d most like to go back to may be at the other. (Oh, and I don’t have a mouse wheel on all my computers. ) The centering and curves waste about 20px per tab. The favicons are 16px. So, where does this particular bit of chrome hide?

[...] your tab bar getting congested? Too many open tabs? Having to scroll (for those of you who have not Disabled Tab Overflow) to find the tab you want? Wish there was way to organize (group) your tabs into folders? If you [...]

yah know, using the scroll wheel on the tab bar to cycle thru the list isn’t that hard to do

Thank god for an easy fix.
I actually uninstalled FF2 right after it came because of this and session manager no being availabe at that point.

Thanks

0 Does NOT disable the tab overflow, it only makes it so an average screen size allows about 35 tabs before they appear.

I think the multi-row tab bar can be accomplished with the Tab Mix Plus extension.
