It's over guys, Firefox 4 is here! Thanks for all the intrest, support and downloads!

Download All-Glass Firefox 2.1.4 for Firefox 3.6+

Changelog

v2.1.4

- Some URL Bar fancy fixes

- Updated DLL

v2.1.3

- Updated for Firefox 3.6b3, still works with 3.5 of course!

- Slight problem with the Find bar still there, can't get it fixed... If anyone has a solution, let me know!

(temp workaround: just open a new tab, select it, and go back to your other one: fixes it!)

- Fixes a bug with the viewport top border moving down when hovering the All Tabs button

- Fixes ugly borders on the New Tab button

- URL Bar height updated to match with Search Box

v2.1.1

Updated and fixed for 3.5b99

There is a little bug: when mousing over the tab browser dropdown some border changes a little.

v2.1.0

Tab browser dropdown menu had an ugly white border -> fix

New GUID for Mozilla Addons

Careful!

  • Not compatible with x64 versions of Firefox! Running the normal Ffx on x64 Windows works just fine!
  • If it doesn't work, you're probably running an incompatible addon or theme! Sorry for that!
  • Obviously only for Windows Vista / Windows 7 with Aero Glass enabled!
  • Use with 3.5+ only, looks funky in 3.0!

What's new in 2.0+:

  • Fancy shiny text effects with the new text-shadow in FF3.5
  • Easy peasy install system.
  • Lots and lots of fixes, and everything now looks even better!

Hint: this addon overwrites Glasser. No addons are required to use this mod.

If you still have the older All-Glass Firefox, be sure to disable/remove the old Stylish theme!

I highly recommend you to use the addon Compact Menu in combination with this addon (it hides the menubar and provides a small drop-down alternative). You can download it from here. You might need Nightly Tester Tools to be able to install it.

In this screenshot I am using Compact Menu to hide my menu bar and replace it with the globe icon on the far right of the adress bar.

(Windows 7)

Have fun!

PS: GMail Notifier doesn't like this addon. You can use Gmail Checker; it does almost the same as Gmail Notifier without messing with this addon!

Forecastfox doesn't display text when this addon is enabled.

Hint on using Beta versions of Firefox: If you can't install some addons, install Nightly Tester Tools first. It can force addon installs without a problem!

It should work, added the compatibility info and it should install now.

It installs now, but everything is just black... Am I supposed to remove the modded overlay.js file or uninstall Glasser or something? I'm using the x64 version of Minefield... would that be the problem?

Hmm... It's best to completely uninstall Glasser and disable the old Stylish userstyle before you install the addon... If you give me a link to Minefield I'll have a look at it.

* update: tried in the latest trunk build of Minefield, works perfect!

BTW, does anyone know how I can make the installation window pop up for my addon instead of the download window?

Here's the link to the x64 project for firefox... http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/Firefox:Download

I'm using the latest version Firefox-3.2a1pre.en-US.win64.installer.20090214.zip.

Thanks for taking a look at it! Aside from no flash support yet, I find the x64 version faster and just as stable :)

As for the installation window instead of the download window, I'm not much help there... :(

Have you ever got any version of glasser to work?

Had a look at it, and I think it's the API calls Glasser does, and modifying the Glasser JS is something I'm not very good at.

Hello,

There is a conflict with Gmail notifier 0.6.3.11

If the extension is enabled the bookmarks and tabbar become black :(

And text from bookmarks in folder dropdowns look ugly (greenish and pixelish)

Impossible to fix that. Was also happening in the old version.

I am having a similar issue with regard to it being black, also when I restart firefox I am being told there is an update from version 2.0 to version 1.0.16 surely this is incorrect?

Glasser v2.0

When I update (downgrade?) to 1.0.16 it looks like this ...

Some addons mess it up...

Wow, this really does look absolutely fantastic for me on Firefox 3.1 beta 3, using Windows 7. I absolutely love it! Excellent work Ambroos.

I have one problem though which does annoy me quite a bit :/ The selected tab is still the default and hasn't changed at all. I think it looks out of place. Have you tried playing around with editing the selected tab at all? Maybe even making it all glass but still the embossed effect would work?

About the tabs, something like this? (Active, inactive hover, inactive)

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
