I usually open 15-20 tabs at a time in Firefox and now they scroll to the side. <\/p>\n<p>In Firefox 2, the if you open more tabs, the <strong>tabs have a fixed minimum width<\/strong>, such that further tabs scroll over on either side. There are arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let you <strong>scroll back and forth between their tabs<\/strong>. It is good in a way as you can easily see the tab titles and their close tab buttons.
