Is there a way to set the number of MRU tabs to higher than 6 when ctrl-tabbing?

Hi, Firefox 57 has the option to switch tabs in the Most Recently Used order (a la alt-tab for the OS windows). But currently i see that only the last 6 tabs are available for switching.

Is there a preference in about:config to modify for this?

I don't think so, it looks like hardcoded.

This number is something I really would like to increase. I would be happy with 10 in one row but 6*3 thunbnails in 3 rows would be even better.

Thanks

So you have to go to the bugzilla.mozilla.org and file a bug for it.
