User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:2.0b2pre) Gecko/20100705 Minefield/4.0b2pre Firefox/3.6.6 Build Identifier: It looks like the default on all platform mockups for maximum tab width is smaller than the current default. This appears to be a cool 200px instead of 250px which was hardcoded in bug 574654. Need to update the base browser.css with this new tab UI style. Reproducible: Always Actual Results: .tabbrowser-tab { max-width: 250px !important; } Expected Results: .tabbrowser-tab { max-width: 200px !important; }

What's the point of reducing the max width? This will degrade usability especially with the full title not being displayed in the title bar.

We are just following mockups. Someone from UX team should answer your question.

I guess you could argue there is a usability win in not having the tabs too wide. I mean, there is a reason for not having two tabs take up half the screen width each ... :)

The UX team actually wants to decrease the tab max-width. The tentative mockups are tentative mockups.

I don't care what the new size should be, but when we analyzed the mockups before, we were trying actually figure out what the new value should be, I thought it was 200, but I guess it should be 210, but whatever the new number, I opened this bug to get it updated.

Since I'm considering this wiki: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/New_Theme/Timeline as accurate one, this should be reopened. Current tabs are ridiculously long, which is more noticeably now that tabs are in title bar and bug 610561 is WONTFIX. Currently only FX4 has that long tabs, rest (IE9, Chrome and Opera) have them much shorter. I have 15'6 laptop with 1368x768 resolution and 4 tabs are max. After that, tabs are beginning to shrink.

This is basically only bug that needs to be fixed. Frank, can you "fix" it, please?

Shorlander and his team need to provide guidance before anyone "fixes" anything here. Peter, cc'ing Frank isn't appropriate here because we're waiting on the UX team and either way this isn't going to happen for Firefox 4 (which is done.)

I talked with Alex about this and he agreed this shouldn't be closed, so I took that as confirmation. After all, Alex himself reopened this bug. I wouldn't do anything by myself without consultation with UX team.
