That's by design. The functionality was combined into the bookmarks menu button, if you wish to show it use this code:

#star-button {
visibility: visible !important;
}

Just add that line to the end of your userChrome.css file, or you can add it to a new style in Stylish. You can find more info about userChrome.css here http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

This works for Classic tabs:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  margin: 0 -3px 0 !important;
  padding: 0 2px 1px !important;
  border-width: 0 9px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurveless.png) 0 9 fill !important;
}[/CODE]

Went back to 'classic tabs' using this stylish script (thanks by the way) but every time I close/restart Nightly it reverts back to the curved tabs, even though the 'classic tabs' stylish script is still enabled. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Do you have both classic tab styles enabled?

The panels don't seem to be styled (Aero look). I was able to get it fixed with a fresh profile but it only worked for a day for some reason. I only have Australis, Tabs Always In Titlebar, Adblock Plus, and Omnibar installed.

Also is there any way to have the identity box to look like the default (abeit with a light soft gradient)?

Sidenote: Do you have any plans for an OS X version? I also have a Mac and wouldn't mind testing it out for you.

Much appreciated, thanks.

I've never experienced this, do you have a custom Windows theme?

I've added the default idbox, but I haven't had time to fully bug test and release it yet.

No OS X version is planned. As far as I know the UX builds on Mac OS X have a lot of the Australis design implemented already.

Latest UX build on OS X (from January 13th):

I'm sorry if I've missed something or appear ignorant, but is there a way to run Australis on the nightly/UX builds with 'classic' tabs at the moment? Cheers!

Yep, i'm running it. Use this script in stylish (not created by me):

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  margin: 0 -3px 0 !important;
  padding: 0 8px 1px !important;
  border-width: 0 9px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurveless.png) 0 9 fill !important;
}

You may also need to install the "checkCompatibility" add-on to force Australis to work with nightly (I have this installed).

Is this theme still being worked on? Because the newtab page isn't displayed correctly when using Australis (works fine with default theme).

The ACTUAL firefox theme is in works though .. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Planning/2012-02-01#UX_.26_User_Research

Nothing has been done on it in a few weeks, but it isn't dead yet. I'd like to redo a lot of things, but I haven't found the time to do a rewrite.

Maybe you could include this theme in Stratisform also, would be nice?

Can you update your theme with latest design to see how it actually works and feels like?

PS : Also remove menu button and make it a settings button ?

a few pages back

I can reproduce this issue. Looking into fixing it now.

Edit: this is most likely due to the moz-border-image changes.

Edit2: This should work for the default curved tabs:

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-stack {
  border-width: 0 28px !important;
  border-style: solid !important;
  -moz-border-image: url(chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/mrcurve.png) 0 28 fill !important;
}

The problem is I don't think I can have support for both Firefox stable/aurora and Nightly at this point because of the changes.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
