Steps to Reproduce:

  • pin at least two tabs
  • click new tab until the tabs overflow

Expected behavior:

  • pinned tabs stay in place and normal tabs overflow

Actual results:

  • pinned tabs are shown under the close/expand/minimize buttons

This can also be reproduced with the following:

  • click new tab until the tabs overflow
  • create two new tabs and pin them

I've tested on Mac, but have not tested any other platforms.

First noticed on: 102.0a1 (2022-05-24) (64-bit)

Component: XUL → Theme
Product: Core → Firefox

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: This makes Firefox pretty unusable for me.

I'm also on OSX. A workaround is to maximize the window and then the weird flickering stops.

For me, the resulting behavior is worse than described in comment 0. I have 12 pinned tabs and a dozen regular tabs. Basically whenever I move the mouse the entire tab bar completely freaks out, like it is rapidly recalculating the entire tab bar.

Ok, it looks like maximizing the window doesn't actually fix the issue per se. It just made the window wide enough that all of the tabs could fit in the window. I opened a few more tabs and then it started happening while maximized.

Regressor was backed out from central, new desktop nightlies incoming: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1770808#c5

Aryx wasn't able to reproduce in Windows 8.1. Maybe it is OSX specific?

I am also able to reproduce this with ~6 pinned tabs

Another report of this from somebody on the MoCo slack, also on OSX.

The original patch was backed out and a fixed version relanded. Can you confirm this is fixed for you on tomorrow morning's nightly, and close this out as WFM if so?
