2082819 - Tab color coding indicators too close to tab title under Nova

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 2074327

(Firefox :: Containers, enhancement)

Description

[william]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:157.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/157.0

Steps to reproduce

Used Multi-Account Containers with colors selected

Actual results

The line indicating which container a tab belongs to appears too close to the tab title under Nova. This was initially described at https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/2939 and while I was not the author of that issue, I do have the same request that the line indicating which container a tab belongs to should be moved further from the title of the tab.

Note that the linked issue on Github includes the specific comment that this issue cannot be addressed by the Multi-Account Containers addon and must be fixed within Firefox.

Expected results

The line indicating which container a tab belongs to should be moved further from the title of the tab.

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

Also as mentioned in the GitHub issue, for vertical tabs the indicator should be on the right edge of the tab as before instead of at the top. This is especially important when hiding the tab labels.

Duplicate of bug: 2074327

However, that bug states:

This bug is just for the horizontal tabs.

Thanks for flagging this. Initially, when I worked on the patch I covered just the horizontal tabs. But the latest version is for both vertical and horizontal tabs. I wrote a comment about it.
