Disable tab scrolling in Firefox 2

One of my biggest peeves with Firefox 2 is how the tab system works with the scroll bar. Prior to version 2, tabs would squish in size to accommodate more. Being a tab heavy user I found this to be perfectly adequate and I got used to how it works. Enter Firefox 2; instead of resizing the tabs, after a certain amount fill up your tab bar they start to go off screen and are accessible through a tab scroll bar. Personally, I hate this scroll bar, so here’s how to get rid of it:

Disable tab scrolling in Firefox 2

* In the address bar type: about:config
* Type browser.tabs.tab into the Search form
* Select browser.tabs.tabMinWidth and change the value from 100 to 0

That’s all you have to do, now you won’t have the annoying tab scroll bar!

Digg!
