- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13681647, 7 years agoI absolutely love this toolbar. Thank you so very much for making, sharing and allowing us to have it for free. Many, many blessings and thanks to you all.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Laura, 7 years agoWorked when first installed; does not show up at all now--not on reload, not on install, not after system reboot.

No way to reply to Croydon's suggestion. so I'm just editing my review.
None of those solutions worked until I resubmitted my review; then suddenly the icon to load the tabs worked. FF Quantum seems to have lots of bugs.Developer response
posted 7 years agoIf you have closed the sidebar you just need to re-open it.
Use the hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+V), the VTR icon somewhere in the right top corner (via default) or Firefox's default sidebar icon and switch in the sidebar header's dropdown menu to Vertical Tabs Reloaded. - Rated 4 out of 5by smuj, 7 years agoVery nice. :)
Looking forward to future improvements as webextensions itself matures.
Edit:
Found a minor bug. If I drag tabs from one window to another, they don't show up in the VTR sidebar.
Still very nice though! :)
Edit2:
One more minor thing: if you're viewing in Firefox's own Dark theme, the icon is barely visible in the toolbar. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13623691, 7 years agoGreat extension. Can't wait for Mozilla to open up and allow the "lost features" to be restored!

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12583337, 7 years agoGood but needs a CSS over-ride section in the settings, like the one in Tab Center Redux. I have a 14in screen and I'm not into the little fonts or the default themes. It would be nice to be able to override them via CSS mods in preference section.
I read that some users are having trouble getting rid of the tabs on top. They should know that it's possible to do via userChrome.css. Open your firefox profile folder, make a folder called chrome and make a new text file called userChrome.css in it. In that file add:
#tabbrowser-tabs {
visibility: collapse;
} - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13467028, 7 years agois it possible to hide the tabs on the top of the browser? just like it did before firefox57. thanks!

posted 7 years agoNot at the moment. This is a limitation in Firefox itself: https://github.com/Croydon/vertical-tabs-reloaded/issues/128 - Rated 5 out of 5by bfdd51, 7 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by revija, 7 years agoIs it possible to add 2nd function for the toolbar button - dropdown list of tabs? Sometimes it helps to have panel with all tabs on the side, but mostly I need just fast access to one tab, - so list with 4-6 words of tabnames besides favicons (which Firefox tabs can't give by design) would be more productive solution.
Yes, there is such addon already, but design is so awful, that I cant use it. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12719344, 7 years agoI'm sure I will love it once I can get it to work. I must be missing s! omething. I added it to Firefox 57. It's enabled. but nothing happens!!! I have closed and reopened Firefox and still no side tabs...
Yay! Thanks for the info. Works great!!Developer response
posted 7 years agoUse the VTR icon next to your navbar to toggle the sidebar or the hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+V). - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13482931, 7 years agoIt good, just not what I want - it takes up too much screen space. If it could be made narrower to the point where only favicons were displayed....
On a side note - to hide the tab bar Firefox stuck up top, add the following to your (user profile)/.mozilla/firefox/chrome/userChrome.css file:
/* Hide the tab bar */
#tabbrowser-tabs { visibility: collapse !important; }
If you want to move the tab bar below the toolbar add:
/* Tab bar below Navigation & Bookmarks Toolbars
For best results, show Title Bar or Menu Bar */
#nav-bar { /* main toolbar */
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;
border-top-width: 0 !important;
}
#PersonalToolbar { /* bookmarks toolbar */
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;
}
#TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important;
Looking forward to a version that's more compact (or ideally moves tabs to bottom of screen). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13467455, 7 years agoThis add-on is so good it should be standard for Firefox.
The version before the last Firefox update was PERFECT. However, the new version lacks many of the features it once had. I'm sure the developer is fixing this and look forward to updates! - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13466926, 7 years agoPretty good!
Doesn't require a bunch of stupid invasive permissions.
Would be nice if there was a tree-style option. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13465204, 7 years agoI like the idea but it doesn't remove the tabstrip at the top of the screen (at least not in FF57) which to me defeats the purpose of having this plugin in the first place...

posted 7 years agoUnfortunately, this is right now a limitation in Firefox. No add-on is able to hide the default horizontal tab strip at the moment. As soon as it will be possible VTR will hide it again (as in pre-0.9 version). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12349314, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13445458, 7 years agoFirefox should have this feature built in but a fantastic extension will do instead. Clearly in active development as it has survived the WebExtensions transition. Why would you have a 16:9 browser and have horizontal tabs?
