Dev channel update to 89.0.767.0 is live
josh_bodner About 2 updates ago I noticed a change in the layout of pinned tabs when the tabs are in vertical mode. Unlike the unpinned tabs, the pinned tabs were placed horizontally saving so much space for the unpinned tabs section below.
Initially I thought it was a setting that I can just go back to and change, but after much research I am starting to think there might have been unintentional design change. Please bring it back or at least give us the option to enable this layout!
See the red square in the screenshot for reference.
Thanks!
nawras This is an evolution of our design of the vertical tab pane to show different categories of tabs in the same way, with pinned tabs and regular tabs being the first two categories, since the whole point of the vertical tab pane is to be able to show more info about a tab instead of scrunching everything together like they are in horizontal mode. Make sure you file feedback that you liked the old design better though, since we'll continue to evolve the design of vertical tabs!

josh_bodner I agree that, generally, the main point of vertical tabs is to see the tabs.
BUT when a user pins a tab it's because they're already familiar with it. So a row of icons makes more sense.
