I have a number of pinned tabs, which occupy a lot of space.

I'm looking for something like a drop down menu to the left of the tab bar for only pinned tabs, which would then eliminate there display on the tab bar. Kinda like a pinned tab bookmark button.

I'd prefer it on the tab bar, but I guess a toolbar button would do.

The "List all tabs button" at the right end of the Tab bar should show all open tabs including pinned tabs if you have this button always enabled.


In Firefox 106+ by default browser.tabs.tabmanager.enabled = true on the about:config page and this makes the "List all tabs" (Tab Manager) button permanently visible on the Tab bar and also pinned tabs are included in its drop-down menu. This button can be moved to the left end of the Tab bar via customize mode.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.

What I'm looking for is to "relocate" the pinned tabs to that drop down menu, whether it's on the tab bar or way of a toolabr button and free up that space it occupies on the tab bar.

You would have to use an extension that can hide tabs.

I found a workaround. In my userchrome.css

/* hide pinned tabs on tab barbar */ .tabbrowser-tab[pinned="true"] { display: none !important;}

Pinned tab now hidden in tab bar, but are still available in "List all tabs button" menu.

In case anyone's interested, I also have an about:addons pinned in there. Kinda makes up for no longer being available as it was before the puzzle button.
