1389204 - Tab bar is too small

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1386964

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

Attachment: Screen Shot 2017-08-10 at 21.01.00.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170810100255

Steps to reproduce:

I couldn't find a better place to submit this feedback so apologies if I'm in the wrong place. When I want to select a tab my cursor constantly goes outside of the browser and I keep having to move it back. Maybe this issue is mitigated with a mouse (I'm using touch-pad). 

I feel an extra 5px in the tab bar would be enough to solve this since that looks to be the height in Chrome and I never had a issue there. 


Actual results:

Is hard to select a tab using touch-pad


Expected results:

A tab should be easy to select

On other OSes, you could use the density setting and set it to "touch" - but that's not available on OS X.

Though, from what I can tell in that screenshot, you've also got "compact" styling on - you can turn it off by going to the hamburger panel, then choose customize..., then use the "density" button in the footer. Does that help?

Density doesn't help. I actually have it as normal already. Changing it to compact just makes the under the tabs smaller.

If I check "Title bar" it does make the tab bar bigger (than Chrome even) but then I don't have the nice layout.

It seems the latest version has a bigger tab bar! This can be closed.

Yes, you noticed that we had to leave the tab bar in compact mode for a couple of days due to, uh, technical difficulties. ;)
