is there a way to disable tab scrolling in firefox 4? So that i am able to view all tabs at any time (like in opera oder chromium/chrome). As far as i see the only posibilty comes with extensions like tab mix plus, that are not avaible for ff4.

I would suggest checking about:config. There should be a browser.tabs.tabMinWidth option, or similar. Setting that to zero will allow the tabs to keep getting squished without falling back to tab scrolling.

Edit:

Having actually gone and installed Firefox 4 beta 10, it seems that's been removed. I searched around a little, and what finally worked was a userChrome.css modification.

Add to, or create userChrome.css in the chrome folder in your profile, and paste these lines in it:

.tabbrowser-tab {min-width: 016px !important;}
.tabbrowser-tab {clip-width: 016px !important;}

16 pixels is the width of the icon, thus tabs will never actually disappear, but you should be able to open many more tabs before scrolling kicks in.

This seems not to work. Neither does any of the solutions suggested in the comments of the linked article. – steve Jan 27 '11 at 14:57

Edited to include a working solution. My bad, probably should have checked that before posting an answer. – Jeremy Sturdivant Jan 27 '11 at 23:13
