I have this same bug on a Samsung Galaxy S10 running Android 12. It started happening a few months ago.

If I open Firefox in landscape and then rotate to portrait, the tabs are very skinny. If I open Firefox in portrait and then rotate to landscape, the tabs are very wide.

My guess is that when Firefox boots, it decides what percent of the screen width tabs should be, and doesn't change that percent when you rotate the screen.

Encountered the skinny tabs on portrait on the following device:
Pixel 6 pro
Android 14
Firefox Android v121.1.0
Had 40+ tabs open
Low battery: at about 26%

After restarting the app, the tab widths went back to normal. And I have not encountered the problem since.

This bug is introduce by bug 1866653.
Also this could be fixed with the same PR for bug 1855519.

The key reason is the resources is not updated when configuration changed (like rotation/fold etc...).

Hey Mira, there have been some changes pushed recently which should fix how device configuration changes, like rotation, are handled. Whenever you have a chance, could you please verify if this bug is still present?

Verified on the latest Fenix Nightly 126.0a1 from 4/4, on the 124.2.0 release, and on Beta 125.0b8, with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (Android 12), and I'm no longer able to reproduce this issue.
I'll close this ticket as WORKSFORME.

Thank you!
