Multi Row Tabs in Firefox 71+

  1. Open about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true.
  2. Open a new tab on about:support and click the button next to “Profile Folder
  3. Go to the “chrome” directory at the profile folder, or create it if it doesn’t exist.
  4. Create a file named “userChrome.css” (if it doesn’t exist) and open it in a text editor.
  5. Copy the css code from below (based on multi-row_bookmarks.css)
    (copy of the css is at the bottom of this post)
  6. Paste it into userChrome.css and save.
  7. Restart Firefox

/* Uncommenting the above makes you unable to drag the window from empty space in the tab strip but normal draggable spaces will continue to work */
