If I can make such a request, I tink it would be nice to have the possibility of separating groups of tabs with separators like used in many types of toolbars. Thank you for your very useful tool. Alessandro Prosperi Pisa (Italy)

P.S. userChrome.css doesn't exist by default; you can create it from scratch, or by copying the userChrome-example.css from the the chrome folder in the Firefox profile to a chrome folder in the Thunderbird profile (I think there already is a userChrome-example.css in the SeaMonkey profile/chrome folder) then copying it again to userChrome.css and editing to your heart's content.
Created an attachment (id=7540) [details] 3.12 prerelease 9 right-click a tab and select QuickFolders Commands > Insert Separator to remove it select QuickFolders Commands > Remove Separator note that the separator is "bound" to the tab, so if you move the tab elsewhere, the separator stays in front of it.
This feature will land in release 3.12
Created an attachment (id=7541) [details] 3.12 prerelease 12 Did some styling improvements on the non "flat style" QuickFolders themes. Spacing should now also look reasonable with native tabs / pushbuttons / apple pills / toolbarbuttons looks from the Bling My Tabs > Appearance page.

I am curious - does the fact that the separator (and also the line-break from [Bug 23039]) is attached to the Tab present a major problem? The thing is # you cannot drag the separator itself # when you drag the tab beside it, the separator moves with it # when you try to move another tab between separator and the attached tab it moves to the left of it I guess I am asking because it is actually not easy at all to change this behavior and I do not want to be shot down in flames as soon as the feature goes online.
In reply to comment #7: This behaviour is a little weird compared to the behaviour of all other toolbars, but IMHO it is not a great hardship since if a separator finds itself (or ends up) in the wrong place, it can be moved by delete + add.
