Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlash

2 years ago by AnActOfCreation to c/firefox

Firefox now lets you remove the List All Tabs button. But is it useful? We take a closer look at the feature.

Firefox users criticized the permanent 'List All Tabs' button introduced in version 131.0, leading Mozilla to make it removable.

The button, designed to manage hidden tabs and prevent add-ons from hiding them, received backlash for being unnecessary alongside Firefox View.

Mozilla responded with a fix in version 131.0.3, allowing users to remove the button through toolbar customization.

Why do we want to be able to hide tabs in the first place?

Some tab grouping extensions use it to hide tabs that are not in the currently displayed group.
