80 gives about 3.5 to 4.5 characters of context, which seems to be enough in most cases. 70 is definitely too tiny, 75 is on the edge (I could probably live with it). 80 may even be an improvement over 100 for me. There are less sessions where I end up with scroll. One reason I don't like smaller than 80 is that the click-able area at some point gets very small, and you're prone to end up with your cursor directly over the close button when opening a tab. That makes me uncomfortable. I tested how Chrome behaves here, and: 1) The target area for closing is smaller, which helps the above issue. 2) If you open enough the tabs the browser UX just completely buggers out! I think (2) rather reinforces the point in my previous post :-) As a last point, I generally try very hard to run my browser as vanilla as possible, to avoid the situation where Firefox developers effectively run a different browser than what we ship to users. But in this case I had to change the pref to be able to work effectively. -- GCP _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
