Back in the day, before Google Chrome took over the internet as the all-powerful web browser, we had an even, balanced war in the browser scene. There was Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, and a few others. However, it was the aforementioned four browsers that dominated the space. Explorer—which came bundled with Windows PCs—had an iron grip on most PCs, while Safari took over Mac users. Mozilla and Opera were complete third-party solutions that pushed Explorer and Safari to up their game.
How do I get vertical tabs in Firefox?
Opera, which is now virtually defunct, supported a unique feature: vertical tabs. Instead of going the usual route of stacking tabs horizontally, Opera stacked them vertically, making the browsing experience much more informative for end users. For unknown reasons, they scrapped the feature and currently require third-party add-ons to unlock the same functionality.
Opera’s longtime rival, Mozilla, never had this feature, and we’re not sure if it will ever be integrated into the app. Fortunately, Mozilla’s extensive collection of add-ons makes vertical tabs a reality, making them feel right at home in Firefox. Today, we’ll take a look at one such handy extension and tell you how to get the most out of it.
