Hey folks, loving vertical tabs so far.
I noticed that if Firefox isn't focused, my system's "resize window" icon mostly obstructs the close tab button. This is due to the button's close proximity to the left edge of the Window. See the attached video file for an example of what I mean.
I'm using Gnome with Linux, though I imagine the problem might exist on other operating systems as well. It doesn't feel like a huge issue as focusing Firefox is enough to make it go away, but figured it was worth filing.

I'm not really seeing why this is an issue TBH. If I'm missing some aspect of how this detrimentally affects the experience please let me know.

The detrimental experience is that half the time when I go to close a tab I find the button is not clickable. This problem does not exist when tabs are in horizontal mode.

Well you did say this wasn't a huge issue since you can close them when you focus the window. Are you wanting to close a lot of tabs constantly when the window isn't focused?
I don't have see issue on mac and I'm also not seeing it on Windows 10, so this might be linux/gnome specific. But I'll cc in our UX designer and PM to see if they think this is something we should address.

I wouldn't say a lot or constantly, but I do have my terminal / Firefox window side by side, so it's often the case that Firefox isn't focused. I would say I go to close a tab and notice this behaviour 3-4 times a day.
