Oddly enough, the apparent lack of the setting (or maybe it didn't seem to work) drove me to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/side-tabs/ around six or eight months ago.

Second time i find myself plugging this add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta...

You can put it on either side, and it doesn't look as ugly as "side-tabs" that you linked to. No, I'm not the author or anything, I've just been using this thing for a good solid few years. And I can't believe people are now falling for this silly side-tabs prototype when a perfectly Good, 100% working side/tree tab add on is already available and mature.

I totally agree that side-tabs isn't the prettiest thing in the world. That said, the tree-style-tabs addon seems to be built around a concept that I don't need, which is why I hadn't really considered it before. It does seem to be fast, though, so I'll give it a try for a while and see if my life improves.

Thanks!

About two hours later, I've switched back: Vertical Tabs is very slow, and makes Firefox 30 on Ubuntu 14.04 seem slow. Ah, well.

I had the same experience on Elementary.
