From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

As I said somewhere else, to get more compact tabs you can go to about:config and search for a setting called
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth, I usually change the number to 20 (the default minimum width is like 70) and tabs are allowed to become roughly as narrow as in chrome. And if by "more compact tab bar" you meant how tall tabs are, there's thebrowser.compactmode.showsetting, put it to "true" and then in the Firefox menu under More Tools → Customize Toolbars you can select "compact mode" in the "Density" menu on the bottom, which makes the tab bar and toolbars shorterNo I meant vertical hight. The horizontal width is way better than in Chromium, same with the "scroll tab feature" which works well better.
That second setting ~~is beta~~ is no longer supported so its not shown
Beta? It isn't experimental, it was an official feature that is no longer supported (even if it still works perfectly).
Oh thats even worse haha.
