This is not what you asked for, but sincerely well-intentioned. Have you tried a vertical tab bar? Honestly, it works *much* better. You can have 30-40 tabs open all with readable titles. It makes more efficient use of widescreen monitors. It is doable on Firefox Quantum etc. now (although I personally have moved to Waterfox to retain other XUL extensions.)
Add-ins such as these work (I use this one when I have to use Firefox):

Alternatives:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vertigo-tabs/
Tree Style Tabs (if you like the hierarchy)

or

I then use some UserChrome tweaks to hide the horizontal tab bar and the sidebar header. It's still clunkier and less flexible than it was pre-Quantum -- e.g. I need a horizontal bookmarks bar, or to switch sidebars; I can't merge the 2 -- but it works.
Thanks again Liam, After updating Win10 to 60esr, it became immediately apparent that the 10M worth of code removed from FF between 52 and 60 removed a lot of the fit and finish for Linux, in order to work well with Windows. While Linux retains the traditional titlebar, window decoration, the Win10 UI has largely done away with it (to the chagrin of Aero fans). The new FF 60 interface dispenses with a titlebar completely allowing the tab-row to serve as the titlebar (with a single square reserved at the far left for window moves) So with Linux, you are stuck with the plain blocky interface unless you, as the user, decide to become an expert as .css styling to restore some of the fit and finish to the FF ui yourself. -- David C.
