My Firefox tabs won't resize when I shrink the browser window

Hi,

I was working on Firefox when I had to shrink the browser window. I noticed that earlier, all tabs within the window would automatically resize to fit the new window size. Now, however, the size of the tabs remains constant, which means that barring the first 3-odd tabs, all the others disappear inside the browser window.

This must be because of some addon conflicts I guess. However, I cannot figure out which it is. Is there any way to make the tabs resize without having to trace which addon caused this issue?

Thanx,

Maybe you previously had the Default FullZoom Level extension. That extension has a fit to window setting although it may not work properly in some cases.

Your System Details List shows the NoSquint extension, so you can check the zoom settings in that extension.

Hi Cor-el,

Thank you for the prompt response.

Yes, I was working on NoSquint today to adjust its settings. I finally got them just right. Are there any specific settings you'd like me to check?

My site settings are Full page (80%) and Text zoom (115%). My global settings are also the same with a full page zoom.

Regards,
