337911 - Tabs cannot be seen when you reach a certain number of them

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221684

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

I am sort of a tab-fetichist and currently have a lot of them opened. I have noticed that when I reach 42 of them, the additionnal tabs I open do not appear in the tab bar (on a 1280x1024px screen, I guess on other screens it can be slightly different). I simply can not click them. The 43th is behind the red cross for closing the tabs, and the following are outside the screen. The solution could be to add a second line of tabs, or to reduce the width of the tabs already opened (like Opera).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open 42 tabs (more or less, it depends on your screen resolution I guess).
2. add a 43rd tab.
3.

Actual Results:  
The following tabs are not visible and can not be clicked.

Expected Results:  
Reduce the width of the already opened tabs or add a second line to put the new ones.
