Tabs toolbar

My tabs toolbar does not extend across the entire laptop screen. Looks like it stops halfway, regardless of how many tabs are open. As tab number increases individual tab space narrows. How can I increase width to occupy full screen?

Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

It is possible to drag other buttons and controls onto the tabs toolbar, stealing space from the tabs. Could you double-check in the Customize panel whether a flexible spacer or anything else that doesn't need to be there is using space on your Tabs bar (I do recommend keeping the New Tab + button and the List All Tabs button).

Are you possibly using code in userChrome.css to style the Firefox user interface ?

LOOK HERE FOR ANSWER: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1365847 Make sure you have width:100vw; property rules.

  1. TabsToolbar {
 display: block !important;
 position: absolute !important;
 bottom: 0 !important;
 width: 100vw !important;

}

  1. tabbrowser-tabs {
 width: 100vw !important;

I think that 100vw is the percentage of the width(?), hence very important is right.

Well, I deduced/inferred that 100vw vs 50vw was a percentage, the linked url confirms it. Thanks for finalizing the solution. The Ts are crossed and the Is are dotted. QED
