are vertical tabs and the sidebar updates an a/b test?
i can't seem to find out how to enable them and everything i've read show options that don't exist in my install - i've also tried a fresh profile.

Wow! This is the first I heard of this so I looked it up.
According to this article it looks like you need a particular build thats not in the nightly mainline, and its very experimental.
Still, its exciting to see them work on this! I use Tree Style Tabs with custom userchrome.css, but it is a bit fragile. Native vertical tabs would be great!
First time I hear about it too. I prefer usual horizontal tabs but I have several coworkers that use tree style tabs or similar as well. More customization/choice is usually good :)
Give sideberry tabs a try. I used to use tree style tabs too, but find sideberry faster and more featureful
Sideberrys implementation is good, but the native, experimental feature blows it out of the water. Its that good.
Can I ask what made you stick to Sideberry instead?
As sibling comment said tab groups are good but they are in tree style tabs too. I like the coloured groups and that it’s snappier than tree style tabs.
I am keen to see the native tabs now though!
I'm not the person you asked, but one big standout feature for me is tab groups. It's a little tedious compared to the Google Chrome implementation, but it works.
ooh, thanks for that article!
i agree, i love to see it (i still use tree style tabs/sidebery but i would love to have it built in - especially the ability to hide the top tab strip)
