Toggle for Tab Bar to Better Integrate Tree-Style Tab

[AzureArmageddon]

I tried out the Tree-Style Tab extension and got everything configured and working nicely but I was left with both the Firefox tab bar and the Tree-Style Tab sidebar on-screen at the same time. I tried to find a way to hide Firefox's tab bar while the Tree-Style Tab sidebar is on-screen (Which is what I want to happen) but only found one superuser thread saying I need to adjust some esoteric file deep within Firefox's app files called "userChrome.css".

This ought to be a one-button fix otherwise Mozilla's "recommendation" of Tree-Style Tab for the modern Firefox browser seems half-hearted at best. I understand there is perhaps some danger involved in exposing such a setting that a user might end up without tabs of any kind, but surely there could be some opt-in setting to toggle off the default tab bar while the sidebar of a user's selected extension is on-screen or something like that?

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

In the "View" menu, where there already is a "Sidebar" and "Toolbars", "Tab bar" would be perfect. If the user turns it off, they can turn it back here.

I would love the the option too enable tree like tabs on the default Tab Bar. 2 deep is already enougth in most cases and not too hard to implement. It could also be bound to a hotkey like ALT.

Have to giggle at "2 deep is enough" - I know I'm in the minority, but I have a butt-load of tabs open, and many of them are four or five deep.   I tend to open new tabs any time I find something interesting and think I might read it.  Or while researching products - then I have many, many tabs in that tree!

A few years ago I had so many open Firefox crashed while starting up!   (that doesn't happen any more, fortunately)

It's ok - just laugh at me; I do!
