Firefox Tab scrolling is a feature that allows you to move the contents of a tab to the top or bottom of the screen. This can be useful when you want to see a large amount of information at once, or when you need to quickly move between different tabs. However, it can also be frustrating if you have a lot of tabs and want to scroll through them all quickly. To disable Firefox Tab Scrolling, open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main window. Then click on the gear icon in the top right corner. On the gear icon, click on Settings. In Settings, click on General. In General, click on Security. In Security, click on Privacy. Click on OK to close these settings files.
Disable Without Tab Mix Plus Extension
Type about:config into the Firefox address bar.
Type in browser.tabs.tabMinWidth, or at least type enough that it narrows down to the option you are looking for.
Set the option browser.tabs.tabMinWidth to 0 to completely disable this feature. You could also set it to a smaller value like 50 or 75 if you wanted to.
Disable With Tab Mix Plus Extension
It does not appear to be possible to fully disable this feature when Tab Mix Plus is installed. What you can do, however, is use multiple rows of tabs, which is somewhat useful in itself.
To enable multiple rows of tabs, you can go to Tools \ Tab Mix Plus Options, select the Display tab, and then change the dropdown for “When tabs don’t fit width” to Multi-row. You can also select the max number of rows to display.
Don’t ask me what happened to that screenshot. It looks like it was eroded away… I was going to take a new one, then I figured it might make somebody smile, so I’m leaving it.
Note that if you click on the “Tab” tab above, you can also change the minimum width of the tab to be a little bit smaller. There’s really a zillion options in this extension.
