I am using this https://github.com/lucaspar/firefox-vertical-tabs/ ; same idea

it needs to collapse automatically, otherwise it just wastes a lot of space

Version 2024.6.2 does not include the final fix for this issue. We are still completing our internal testing, but we plan to submit another release to the store later this week as soon as it is verified.

from the github issue

Finally! And it seems it’s the 2024.6.2 with the actual fix (2024.6.0 seems to have promised a fix that didn’t cover all cases),

yeah mate - you need a knowledge management software, not a browser.

tabs were always ephemeral and that’s unlikely to change because they’re much more than text and images.

that’s simply an unreasonable expectation for a browser.

I’m honestly surprised Firefox even handles more than a few hundred open tabs.

Say these problems are fixed for now. How many tabs is enough? How do you see this tab hoarding progression being sustainable at all?

It’s not the web. It seems to me you might have an attention deficit issue. Try improving your workflow.

geez, just press Ctrl+W when you’re done with a tab, or if the tab is older than a couple hours

I don’t understand why some are so attached to tabs. Search your history if you need it again.

Yes, it’s been going on for a while and it’s really annoying.

10 days ago:

We have identified the root cause of this issue and the fix will be included in the next release of the Firefox extension. I can’t commit at this point to a date for that release, but the issue has been identified and will be included.

I remember waiting for a similar fix in the past and it took Firefox ~2 weeks to verify the new version.

I think it’s hit or miss. I’ve been having this annoying bug since I switched to Plasma 6 + Wayland and I have no idea whether it’ll be solved any time soon.

Ah - that’s all I had to do to solve it on Ubuntu server 22.04. Maybe desktop is different, maybe 24.04 is different. You can try removing additional packages or following other instructions. I won’t post any links here, as I see different possible solutions and haven’t tried any other than the one above. Let us know what works.

sudo apt remove ubuntu-advantage-tools

Just fzf + the same version control I use for my dotfiles. I have no interest in mixing machine histories like atuin offers, so that makes sense to me.

${XDG_DATA_HOME}/Trash is fairly common and afaik the default in Gnome and KDE

FreeDesktop.org trash spec

I clear history older than 2 months. Recent history is too damn useful to revisit a page by typing part of the title or URL in the address bar.

The thing is, without a unified GUI it’s impossible to get an answer to “how to X on Linux” that doesn’t involve the CLI (and that’ll work for everyone). Even the ones that do are often distro-dependent.

People can still get things done by searching for “how to X on <distro> using the GUI”.

With the amount of fuck-ups from Microsoft, this might not be necessary, but:

The average user doesn’t want to install the operating system or doesn’t care about it as long as they can do their things, and those who care can easily do so today. Thus, IMO, advertising to the end user is a waste of resources.

Focus on permeating it in governments, institutions, and OEMs to increase market share and break the “Linux is complicated / incompatible / for developers” stigma, then organic adoption out of these environments will grow - at least among people who can actually use it with the supported software.

thanks for the red circles

I was about to post this, what a shitty platform.
