Once the linked problem is fixed, is there any way to get this into Firefox faster?

No, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Uplift_rules.

If this becomes a user pref, can we get a value for it like "switch tabs even if they overflow"?
Looking at the patch in the parent bug report, I don't imagine this will take more than a couple extra lines.
Any news on this? It's already half a year with no apparent activity...
There's a script for https://github.com/ardiman/userChrome.js that does it, but since 61b1 it does not apply on all old windows after a browser restart (and running it manually from the browser console is rather annoying).

Waiting for it for years now...
Is it possible that this was solved by the toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling flag?
Anyway it is not working with version 71. Is there a way to fix it?

For me toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling gives the desired tabscrolling behaviour when set to true.

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.
Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
