Given that SeaMonkey is also using Toolkit's tabbox.xml nowadays I'd love to see this fixed with a pref. That would allow us to fix bug 409792 by simply activating the feature for all platforms in SeaMonkey's default prefs file (in addition to porting the browser.js changes of course).
The only concern I have is that FF is already using the mouse wheel on the tab bar for scrolling through it when there are very many open tabs. SeaMonkey doesn't have that yet so it's currently not a concern for the suite.

The FF3 requirements page <http:// www.mozilla. com/en- US/firefox/ system- requirements. html> says GTK+ 2.10 or higher is required so this shouldn't be a concern anymore.
