If you want to quickly open a new tab you can double click inside the free area of the tabbar. This way does not work if too many tabs are opened because no space is left between the last tab and the right scroll button or the stack button. We should add a small padding of approx. 5px to the right side of the surrounding tab box.

Locally I can achieve this by adding following lines to userchrome.css:

.tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox > scrollbox > box {
  padding-right: 5px;
}

One issue is left when opening a new tab and the right scroll button is visible. Than the scrollbox doesn't scroll as much as it should do to display the gap. Instead you have to click manually the scroll button.
