Note

  • The issue seems similar with bug 1406002, but the steps to reproduce are a little different and the window buttons disappearing are not mentioned in the old bug so I considered this to be a different issue.

Affected versions

  • Fx 66.0.5
    Fx 67.0
    Fx 68.0a1

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10 & 7 x64
    Ubuntu 18.04

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add a lot of pinned tabs to the browser (my case 15+)
  2. Restart Firefox however you see fit.
  3. Adjust the width of the Firefox window to be atleast half a screen or smaller.

Expected result

  • The navigation buttons and the window buttons remain visible while adjusting the width.

Actual result

  • The navigation buttons and the window buttons do not retain their position when adjusting width.

Regression range
*Will provide a regression range as soon as possible.

I was about to file a duplicate of this because on a small window I lose the window controls due to this.

I guess potential solutions for this could include:

  • Making pinned tabs independently scrollable (but what's the threshold to scroll pinned vs. unpinned tabs?).
  • Somehow collapse them into a dropdown or something if they cause other stuff to overflow.
  • Maybe something else?

I don't know if we have telemetry on how many pinned tabs are commonly used?
