Any way for enabling tabs on titlebar also when in window mode?

Any option in about:config to enable it?

I did a quick check in about:config and didn't see anything. :/

I'm sure there will be a style for that on here or userstyles.org tomorrow, though.

38 tabs, 1,202,608k :woot:

Still relatively responsive though, much better than b7

Ouch. You using b8 or nightlies? My RAM usage has dropped by about 40% since about a week or so ago using nightly builds.

Well if it doesn't creep up much more, my statement about using 40% less memory was spot on :p

Clean profile, for me, brings memory usage quite a bit lower but I can't be arsed to transfer bookmarks etc. to a new profile since Firefox isn't showing any signs of slowdown with the current memory usage.

Yeah, he went from 1,202,608K to "creeping towards 700,000K" switching to Minefield.

I kind of took the improvements for granted, I guess, but now that I think about it this was probably my biggest issue with previous releases of Firefox. Memory usage was getting higher and higher and the browser was getting slower and slower. Initially, with FF4 the memory usage got even higher, but it didn't affect my browsing experience. Now it still runs just as smooth (if not smoother) while memory use has been steadily decreasing.

It's been a long time coming. :)

I'm using the latest nightly and I don't have the tabs in titlebar option, not in about:config either.

That's because tabs in titlebar when maximised will only land in today's nightly, which should be out soon-ish.

Now make a comparison with the browsers windowed rather than maximised. Some of us consider maximising a web browser a waste of screen estate.

Try THIS userstyle ! ;)

Thanks :)

Thankfully I use the Tab Counter add-on, so I've got inactive part of the titlebar to grab on to.

On a side note, I cant get rid of that close tab button on the titlebar

It was a Tab Mix Plus option :whistle:

Thanks for posting this! I was looking around for a comparison, but now I've found one. :D

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.

      That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,

      Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
