After Upgrading to v58 userChrome.css Multiple Tabs Setup Stopped Working

On Nov 20, 2017 after v57 I lost access to my extension that gave me multiple plugin rows.

Then I found the solution was to create a Chrome\userChrome.css file in my profile and configure multiple tab rows like I wanted.

After upgrading to v58 I have lost all my tab rows and they are now all showing on one row all squished and with the scroll bars which I hate and it totally slows down working.

How do we re-gain access to a Multiple-Row Tab Setup???

The following userChrome.css prevously worked great in v57:


/*START userChrome.css*/ /*Multiple Tab Rows*/ .tabbrowser-tab {

   flex-grow:1;
   min-width:150px;

} .tabbrowser-tab,.tab-background {

   height:29px;

} .tab-stack {

   width: 100%;

} .tabbrowser-tabs .scrollbox-innerbox {

   display: flex;
   flex-wrap: wrap;

} .tabbrowser-tabs .arrowscrollbox-scrollbox {

   overflow: visible;
   display: block;

} .tabbrowser-tabs .scrollbutton-up,.tabbrowser-tabs .scrollbutton-down,#alltabs-button{

   display: none;

}


/*Make Pinned Tabs smaller*/ .tabbrowser-tab[pinned] {

 min-width: 24px !important;   
 width: 28px;

}

/*END userChrome.css*/

That straightened things out for me and now I'm back up and running after making my customizations with your starting CSS.

Cheers!!!

Can someone post the corrected version of userChrome.css AFTER replacement of "1." and all the rest? Can I directly replace userChrome.css with the above? Best Max

All of the multiple tab row solutions that I've found have made closing tabs very slow. Does anyone else see this or know of a fix?
