This is a special specification. If I can have a normal sized tab and on that can I open another tab in small size? So that I can read content from the full sized one?

Any way to achieve it?

Not sure what you mean, but type "about:config" in the address bar, then type "tabs" in Filter and try changing values of

browser.tabs.tabClipWidth
browser.tabs.tabMinWidth

Or perhaps you meant something like this...

If this is what you want then you can do it this way..

> Bookmark the link that you wish to open in the smaller area..
> Right click that bookmark, go to its properties
> Check the "Load This Bookmark in SideBar" checkbox
> Click OK
> Click on the bookmark to open it in a Sidebar.


Though they are not exactly two tabs, but something like that.

Thanks . I would use both suggestions and adopt whichever fits in.
