I'll have to look to find the fix.

The tab would grow from left to right. Really annoying. Just open the
tab instantenously. Who wants to see this every time they open a tab?
It wears out the first time you see it (at least for me).

I can't believe anyone wasted valuable time to make this time-wasting
non-entertaining crap.

I'll get back to you with the solution if I can find it.
