Demand for vertical tabs keeps growing in the Firefox community. Because when you open many tabs, you may not be able to view tab names on the horizontal tab strip. Things become easier and any number of tab titles can be seen vertically. This also saves screen space and is helpful for multi-monitor users.

Regarding Vertical Tabs, the feature is already available in Brave, Microsoft Edge, and Vivaldi browsers. Vertical Tabs have been an integral part of the Edge browser. Brave and Vivaldi too offer the ability to view open tabs in a vertical layout. While Brave offers a tab context menu option, Vivaldi offers a setting to set the tab bar on any side, including the left.
