This Firefox add-on arranges tabs in a vertical rather than horizontal fashion. Vertical Tabs Reloaded is a fork of Vertical Tabs, which was discontinued. The original project is heavily inspired by the Tree Style Tab add-on.

Only the latest Firefox version is fully supported. Compatibility with the latest ESR version will not get broken on purpose, but it might be necessary to do so sometimes. Pull requests fixing compatibility with the latest ESR version have a good chance to get accepted. Pull requests concerning other versions as the latest Firefox version or the latest Firefox ESR version will not be accepted.
Vertical Tabs Reloaded will actively support (i.e. feature updates) ESR 60 for at least 12 weeks (around Firefox 62) up to 18 weeks (around Firefox 63) and bug fixing only support for additional ~ 6 weeks.
While full support for a year would be nice, it would mean freezing features for too long as the WebExtension API is still rather immature and actively developing.
Install the version v0.8.2 from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/vertical-tabs-reloaded/versions/?page=1#version-0.8.2
You need Node.js and npm installed on your system. Then install web-ext:
npm install -g web-ext
After that you can build the add-on by executing in the project's root directory:
web-ext build
You can also install the pre-built developer version here. By using it you can help me testing new versions before they are getting shipped to everyone.
