That setting does not exist for me

I'm guessing, but I think it only works for tablets. As I don't see it on my phone, but do see it on my tablet.
Indeed. "Smallest width" dev setting of 600 is the smallest DPI that is considered "tablet" by android. Setting it to that makes the setting magically appear.
The reason for that appears to be that the tab bar takes up about half of the screen on lower DPIs. It's hilariously large.
Can't wait to switch back to Firefox. I'll stick to Vivaldi until a stable release
Not gonna bother setting up Nightly (switching browsers is a pain), but I hope this carries over to Samsung DeX's desktop mode, one of the updates a few months ago made the font way too large in DeX mode, making it almost unusable in that mode.
Are tablets still popular?
Android tablets are booming rn. I've coded lemmy with one for several years now.
what's your setup for this out of interest? are you running a Dev environment under tmux or something? 🤔
I use termux to mosh/ssh to my arch linux dev server, and code from the command line using helix.
When I do android programming, since google forces you to use android-studio, I use AVNC on android, and tigervnc on my server. I hate this and I develop much slower than I would with helix / vim.
Yeah I basically run on my Samsung Tab S8 plus. Much lighter than a laptop and has everything I need. Also Samsung Dex is great if you've never used it. I also have a laptop with Arch Linux but I do most of my work on my tablet. For reference I'm a doctor and I use my personal devices for scholarly work. I use Google docs and refworks as my citation manager.
Also with the foldable phones becoming more main stream
This was my only issue with Firefox on Android and I'm so glad to see it addressed. Honestly kinda expected it'd be years before they look into this.
Yup, especially since tabs were an original mozilla invention, and android is by far the most popular OS in the world.
I thought tabs started with the Opera browser?
Archive.is doesn't load for me, could you post the original link?
archive.is has mirror domains, like https://archive.ph/blyOI you're welcome
Also, the source here: https://www.androidpolice.com/mozilla-firefox-android-tablet-tab-bar-nightly/
Archive is/ph/today etc. is playing dirty with DNS and actively lying to Cloudflare and some others too I believe. They all do not work.
I had to hard-code their IP address in my hosts file.
Need Firefox nightly:
Go to Settings
About Firefox Nightly
Tap the icon 5 times to unlock debug mode
Go back
