I'd like to take this opportunity to frame my request to this list a bit<br>
more precisely. The feedback I am going to find actionable here is, which<br>
setting value of this preference do you find most useful.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">At 100 I can distinguish different bugzilla tabs by bug ID. At 50 I cannot. This feels important to me; even if I don't exactly remember the ID I'm looking for I can narrow it down to one or two tabs and then hover if I need to. Many other sites also have tabs that can be distinguished from the first few letters - if you can see them. (Too many do not.) Indeed now that I have this pref to play with I have set it to 200 and this seems even better.</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Off-topic feedback such as commentary on extension deprecation policies<br>
aren't actionable for me. I don't work on extensions.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">I don't know if this is off-topic or not but I'll briefly mention it anyway: I feel that the many-tabs use case is treated as a stepchild in Firefox. Notably the drag-to-reorganize scheme does not work well for many tabs; a tab pane a la what tabgroups had would be superior.</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default">--lars</div><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small" class="gmail_default"> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
