Never. It's a known fact that multirow tabbars are a usability nightmare.

Yes they are, absolutely terrible, take windows for example, they make
a complete habit of using them in just about every dialog. Terrible,
especially with how they for some reason shift tabs to the front when
you click the one in the back row, it makes not a sense to me.

I also hate it when, i.e. firefox(I think) does this, it always gives
me this unstoppable urge to close all of them until it resorts to the
1-row-only.

Or rather - they did in dialogs that were designed years ago and where
bits and pieces have just been added over time.  I'd be surprised if
anyone designing anything new for Windows would seriously consider
them.

Firefox uses one row of tabs with scroll arrows at either end if there
are too many to show by default.
