I've played with Tree Style Tabs, but it seems like there's some configuration required for the optimal result. So I ask: have you done any configuration changes to it?

I have custom css to hide the tab bar from the top.

I also shrink it down when the mouse isn't over it. See the screenshots for mouse out and mouse over look.

Works well for me.

Could you please post your userChrome.css that you use to achieve this? Looks very neat to me, but I don't know how to configure it.

I edited userStyles.css to remove the browser tabs from the top of the browser so that only the tst tabs are visible, plus in the tst preferences I added some css to highlight certain tabs such as email and slack. I also added some styles for suspended tabs and removed the a scrollbars.

Also a TST user. It take some getting used to, I don't think I'll ever go back to using horizontal tabs. It is very much functional out-of-the box and it comes with a lot of preferences to choose from. However for a cleaner interface you'll have to customize your UserChrome.css.

This is what I'm using right now - https://pastebin.com/bKHM8hp9

I change the theme and the opening tree behavior do it doesn't nest endlessly. I think I also put to open new tabs at the front of the children, so it is immediately preceding the parent. Just use it for a bit, the top tab bar is so silly.
