I know this is old news by now, but I was not sure how to activate vertical tabs on all of my browsers. It certainly is not obvious, so I wanted to include the instructions here in case anyone else wants to try it out.

Type about:config into the address bar of Firefox. You'll be greeted with a warning that you are accessing advanced settings - click "Accept the Risk and Continue." Search for the boolean preference sidebar.verticalTabs and set to true. That's it! Enjoy your vertical Tabs!

Edit: You may also need to set sidebar.revamp to true if it is not already/automatically set.

For anyone interested, Firefox-based browser Floorp (terrible name) has had tab groups and vertical tabs for a while now.

I've been using it for a while now and it's nice and stable.

I'm fancy of the 'Zen' fork. However I just can't get myself to switch off of Firefox for some reason. Idk why, it just works™️ for me

I did use it for a while, but it lags in updates and is missing a feature or two that I needed.

Overall it's great and underrated (or under-represented).
