@ 6XGate; any luck contacting the author of the new tab button extension? You wrote that you would release it if you couldn't get in touch with him, and now his site is also down. Any chance of that happening? I prefer this particular extension to others such as Tabs Mix Plus etc.

Unfortunately no... I will prepare the a package for an updated version of it, probably have it up by next week.

How can i get the favicon area really flush with the whole url bar? I can get it to move more towards the left but the top and bottom ends have gaps. Make it look like how it is on xp (not the roundedness) but how the blue/green area is really flush with all the edges compared to vista where there is some gaps.

I got it to work :) Read here (first and second post at top): http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.ph...a&start=150

Uninstall the extension completely and restart FF. Now go to here and download it directly from their addon site (You need to register)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7336

Yes it is, now would you kindly tell us what extensions and/or themes you used to get that same look?

First, an updated screenshot:

I'm using Personal Menu to remove the menus and add the Bookmarks, History and Menus buttons. Using Locationbar2 for the IE7 effect (plus extras). Stylish for the icons and overall look. I'll attach the two Stylish scripts I'm using.

Hey guys, I know no one hasn't heard from me on this extension in a while. But I've just not really seen anything new to add to it so far. I do however wish to post the new-tab-button-on-tab-bar extension I used in the screenshots since the original author has disappeared.

New Tab Button on Tab Bar 3.0

Hey guys, I know no one hasn't heard from me on this extension in a while. But I've just not really seen anything new to add to it so far. I do however wish to post the new-tab-button-on-tab-bar extension I used in the screenshots since the original author has disappeared.

New Tab Button on Tab Bar 3.0

The glass effect is getting very close to being complete in the nightlies. This just landed in today's, #418454 [Core:Widget: Win32]-Add support for Aero Glass effects to Widget layer [Win]

Support for Glass has landed and is enabled in the nightlies.

But, only for pure XUL content, web content still doesn't render properly on it, so you'll still need to use this extension, even when 3.1 is finished (When Firefox 4 is released, the Compositor should fix that bug, and any theme will be able to take advantage of it).

    • Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. In other words, you can choose the amount of Liquid Glass you want to see on your iPhone instead of an on/off switch, which would only give you two choices. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, sidebar icons keep their color. Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass. New customizations allow Liquid Glass to improve contrast and enable a more vibrant appearance. The new icons have sharper edges, which addresses an old complaint that iOS 26 icons look blurry at smaller sizes. The upgraded Liquid Glass, Apple said, is building on last year's design upgrades by "integrating additional layers of Liquid Glass directly into the artwork itself." Apple's upgraded design language is available on iOS 27, which is arriving this year with no changes to the list of supported iPhones.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
