1406255 - "List All Tabs" button should be visible all the time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1480542

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Alice0775 White]

After landing Bug 1404465,
the tab title is almost INVISIBLE and INDISTINGUISHABLE when open many tabs.

As an alternative, if I use the "List All Tabs" pull-down menu there is a long tab title so I can find the tab.
However, unfortunately, the "List All Tabs" button is hidden until tabbar is overflowed(introduced by Bug 714281).

I suggest 
The 'List All Tabs' button should ALWAYS be visible make it easier to find tabs.

As long as it's still possible to remove it using Customize.

Removing the 'List All Tabs' button is the first thing I do when preparing a profile in order to stave off triggering the overflow scrolling by one more iconified tab.

AFAIK, 'List All Tabs' button is not customization(ie. it can not be removed).
So, I can not understand your comment.

I'm currently on 52 ESR and I have my Firefox configured so that it never appears under any circumstances.

I'm asking that such a configuration remain possible without having to get into userChrome.css hackery.

I am talking about default UI behavior provided Mozilla.

I understand that. My concern is about the possibility of this change forcing new unwanted visual clutter on me and other users like me now that the removal of legacy extensions prevents the change from being reverted that way.

Well, now that I've started working to put together a Quantum-era profile, one of the things I had to do was add this to my userChrome.css because the Customize panel failed me.

/* Hide unwanted "All Tabs" button */
#alltabs-button {
    display: none !important;
}

Take that data point for whatever it's worth.

Sorry, is there a reason for that?
Is it a design choice?
