How to Put Tabs on the Side for Firefox
Tabbed browsing, where a Web browser allows you to open a new page without having to start another window, makes it much easier to quickly jump back and forth between Web pages. Most Web browsers, like Firefox, have the tabs appear at the top of the screen. Unlike some browsers, Firefox does not have a native way to move the tabs to the side, however, Firefox does have a few free add-ons that will perform this task. You can download an install any add-on by choosing "Add-ons" from the "Tools" menu, and then searching for the title of the add-on.

Download the Tree Style Tab add-on to place your tab bar on any of the four edges of the window, including the left and right sides. Each new tab that you open is threaded underneath the current tab, making it easier to keep track of where each tab is based on its relationship to the original tab. You can resize the tab bar to your liking, and you can hide it or show it with the click of the mouse. Tree Style Tab allows you to collapse each individual tree, which will be helpful if you have a large number of tabs open at once. The add-on offers a number of different appearances and has a host of options, allowing you to customize your experience to your liking.

Install Vertical Tabs, which is a simple add-on designed to operate without a group of preferences or options. The add-on creates a tab list on the left side of your Firefox window, which you can resize to your liking. Vertical Tabs comes with just three buttons, the first of which just creates a new tab. The second button opens a pop-up window that holds images of what is in each tab, allowing you to visually choose which tab to jump to. The third button allows you to group two or more tabs together, and assign a name to the group, so you can organize your information to your liking.
