Quote:Firefox displays only a handful of open tabs at the same time in the tabbar of the browser. The browser reduces the width of open tabs up to a certain point and adds scroll buttons to the tab bar; this behavior is different to that of most Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome which reduce the width until tabs are no longer shown on the browser's tabbar.
Firefox users can change the minimum and maximum tab width used by Firefox to display tabs.
Users of the browser have multiple options when it comes to finding open tabs in the browser. From scrolling the tabbar and using the tab list icon to searching across all open tabs.
Firefox users who don't want to install an extension for that, Search Multi Tabs is a recent extension that is compatible with Firefox, can run searches from the browser's address bar directly.
Firefox suggests open tabs when users enter matching phrases into the address bar; what many Firefox users may not know is that Firefox supports a special character that makes the search exclusive.
Instead of searching open tabs, bookmarks, the browsing history, and displaying search suggestions, Firefox would just display matching open tabs.
