are vertical tabs and the sidebar updates an a/b test?

i can't seem to find out how to enable them and everything i've read show options that don't exist in my install - i've also tried a fresh profile.

Wow! This is the first I heard of this so I looked it up.

According to this article it looks like you need a particular build thats not in the nightly mainline, and its very experimental.

Still, its exciting to see them work on this! I use Tree Style Tabs with custom userchrome.css, but it is a bit fragile. Native vertical tabs would be great!

First time I hear about it too. I prefer usual horizontal tabs but I have several coworkers that use tree style tabs or similar as well. More customization/choice is usually good :)

ooh, thanks for that article!

i agree, i love to see it (i still use tree style tabs/sidebery but i would love to have it built in - especially the ability to hide the top tab strip)
