I've used Firefox as my primary browser since the "Quantum" in 2017. Chrome still feels snappier, but Firefox's Container Tabs is hard for me to imagine losing.

Yes, and the lack of a viable vertical tabs solution for Chrome (though some Chrome based browsers have native implementations).

I am baffled how anyone could still be using horizontal tabs as it is clearly inferior. I am also annoyed as hell that it is not native in Firefox.

As a person who habitualy closes everything, I often average around 5 tabs open, rarely going above 10. With so few open at a time, the giant column of vertical space for the tab tree would be a waste of screen real estate, which can be better utilized to open another window i a vertical split arangement, or just for the website's content. Having said that, I know one of my friends has always at minimum 100 tabs open at any time, so he jumped at this feature as soon as ut released. It's a matter of preference I'd say.

I'm the same. In the rare case I do have a lot of tabs open it tends to be a queue that I work through in order anyways so having them not fit on screen isn't a problem. My theory is that once I get over 20 tabs or so it will be quicker to just re-open the document (just type a few words in the URL bar and history-search will find it) than actually locate and click it. I'm glad that Firefox is flexible enough for tab hoarders and tab closers. Having a horizontal tab bar that doesn't take up too much space is perfect for me.
