"List all tabs" button in tabs bar is not usable Topic is solved

[jobbautista9]

Usually there's a downwards chevron button at the rightmost side of the tab bar which allows you to list all tabs currently open in a window, but it's invisible in Basilisk. It becomes visible though when you get to the Customize Toolbar tab, but it can't be grabbed.

A workaround to make it functional is to use the classic DOM Inspector to toggle the removable attribute of toolbarbutton (with the id of alltabs-button, but it's easier to get to it quick by doing Shift + Right Click on the button while it's visible in Customize Toolbar) to true. That would allow dragging the button elsewhere and it will stay visible there. However dragging it back to the rightmost side of the tab bar will make it invisible again, which returns me back to square one because I would prefer that button to stay at the rightmost side...

Can this bug be fixed please?

EDIT: removable should be true to make it draggable in Customize Toolbar, whoops

Visibility of that button depends on whether there are enough tabs in the tab strip so that it becomes "scrollable". That behaviour does make sense, IMHO, since all tabs will be directly accessible up to that point.
But ultimately it's Basilisk-dev's call, of course

Ah I see. I didn't test opening as many tabs as possible to make the horizontal scroll buttons visible in the tab bar, and I usually only open a few tabs in Basilisk compared to Pale Moon which does explain why I never see them... At the very least though I think it should be possible to drag the button to another position for the people who want it, like in PM.

What was said above:

Visibility of that button depends on whether there are enough tabs in the tab strip so that it becomes "scrollable".

- is true for almost any browser. (The only exception known for me is Pale Moon.)

But adding the code below to the userChrome.css file also helps for almost any browser:

Code: Select all

#alltabs-button {
  visibility: visible !important;
}

That behaviour does make sense, IMHO, since all tabs will be directly accessible up to that point.

Tabs are narrow, so only a small starting part of a whole page title is visible on them.
Let think about sites where this part is the same on all pages because it contains the site name.

I am a fan of this change. I've modified the button to be removable and set it to be always visible in the master branch. This change will be included in the next release.

Nice, thanks!
