Steps to reproduce:
- Open enough tabs to fill the vertical tab list completely, and then open a few more tabs.
- Scroll to the bottom of the tab list and open the last tab in the list.
- Open a link in a new tab from the currently open website.
Actual results:
The correct link is opened in a new tab, but it is not visible or easy to click. You have to scroll down in the list to see the tab that you just opened.
Expected results:
The vertical tabs should have scrolled down to show the new tab.
This is also how the horizontal tabs work.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Sidebar' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Yes I can confirm this. With horizontal tabs, if the tab list is overflowing and you open a link into a new tab, the new entry in the list does not get selected but does get scrolled into view. This does not happen when the tab list is vertical. I don't see a strong reason why we should have different behavior for vertically-oriented tabs here.
