What about enabling both options, arrows for scrolling and multiple lines? -Normally, when there are only a few tabs, everything looks as usual; -Whenever tabs become too many, both the arrows and an extra button appear. Clicking the arrows makes tabs scroll; clicking the button makes them line up in 2 (or more) rows and the arrows disappear, until the user presses that button again. If it's pressed again, they all go back to a single line of tabs, and the arrows show up again. -When tabs become so few that they can fit well in a single line, both the arrows and the extra button disappear.
This way, everybody could choose the style they prefer. The only doubt I have is that someone could find it confusing: if you scroll a bit, then you press the button, choose another active tab, then press the button again, the tabs would appear in a different position than they were. But after all, I think it's a minor problem.
