Looking to adjust Tab resizing behaviour:

[Munkenmo]

When I used firefox the tabs wouldn't resize until after I'd moved my mouse away from the tab bar. I'm looking to emulate that same behavior in Palemoon.
I often have to open up to 30+ tabs to quickly glance at pages and make sure our watermark is applied on each of them. The easiest way to do this, is to move my cursor to the second tab pressing middle mouse to quickly close them all.

In about:config I have browser.tabs.resize_immediately set to false, but this setting doesn't appear to work in conjunction with browser.tabs.onTop = True

Tab's don't automatically resize when browser.tabs.onTop = False, however with browser.tabs.onTop = True, the first tab will always begin to resize immediately.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I don't get why because this should be default behavior. I have this expected behavior..

Head into about:config and do browser.tabs.* in the search filter box.. and try resetting all browser.tabs.* prefs to default. Then give it a shot..

I've given it a go, and no joy, it's not behaving the way I'd expect it to, when browser.tabs.onTop = true

Here's a recording if it helps:

As you can see, it's working as expected when browser.tabs.onTop = False

As a workaround, you can install the Tab Utilities extension; make sure the hidden preference extensions.tabutils.delayResizing is set to "true" and you'll have the desired tab resizing behavior, even when the tabs are on top.

When I have time, I'll open a GitHub issue for this.

Thanks Antonius, that workaround is working nicely
