Toggle Native Tab Bar

This addon, with a little help from some css, shows or hides the native tab bar when the user wants.

Toggle Native Tab Bar is a Firefox extension that empowers users to show or hide the browser's native tab bar on demand. While sidebar tab managers like Tree Style Tab or Sidebery help manage tabs in a sidebar, this addon focuses on toggling the visibility of the native tab bar for flexibility when needed.

With a lightweight setup involving minimal CSS, users can seamlessly switch between seeing their sidebar tabs and the native tab bar without sacrificing convenience or appearance. Detailed installation instructions are available on the GitHub repository. This extension is perfect for users seeking more control over their tab management experience.

Thank you ever so much for making this into an add-on. I wasted an hour trying to recreate it after a system wipe :DDD

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Toggle Native Tab Bar requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
