The theme is taking longer than we originally anticipated, so we decided to release a beta version.

It's fully functional, but we removed the page and home for now. We will re-add them once we work out the bugs. We also included an alternative background for tabs and bookmarks bar. To enable add the following to stylish:

#bookmarksBarContent{
			 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Bookmarks-BG.png") 0 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;
			 margin-left: -3px !important;
			 margin-right: -3px !important;
			 margin-bottom: -3px !important;
			 margin-top: -4px !important;}
			 .tabs-container {
			 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://global/skin/images/extras/Tab-BG.png") 1 8 0 8 / 0 8px 0 8px !important;}

It is recommended you have the following addons:

  • Personal Menu
  • All Glass
  • Fission
  • Omnibar

Please report any bugs you find.

Redux3_Beta.zip

Nice, finally a release of some sort. Thanks a lot.

Addons:

-ABP

-All Glass by Ambroos

-autoHideStatusBar

-Personal Menu

-Stylish

Also, no stylish scripts are being used.

Edit: This should work with FF 3.5.2 right?

Yes it should work with 3.5/3.6 and 3.7. I installed all those addons was was unable to reproduce that. I no idea what is causing that. Can you make another Firefox profile and see if it works there?

I'm using this, really well, but i am having the problems when browsing too many tabs, the arrow next to the "new tab button" became ugly. :D

Ya, we're working on a good style for the tab scroll buttons at the moment. Currently we're still using the default ones.

Thanks for releasing the beta, it looks&works amazingly well!

The only thing I'd might change is font color in statusbar. It's black while I'd rather white. Is it easy to change?

It's easy to change, but we wanted to make it similar to the default Aero text like in the title bar.

With black text and white glow.

Yeah, same happens here. I think the addon only works with non aero themes (although I haven't tried non-aero tabs on top yet..)

To everyone:

The plan for the Firefox 4 Mockup Redux theme is to combine my theme and the theme by the guys here into one with all the best bits from both. I will continue working on my individual theme, as it's a more personalized approach and some elements may not be to some people's liking, but it's my first ever theme and I like it :D. It will go by the name of Strata40, while the combined one will probably be Firefox 4 Mockup Redux or something similar.

Strata40 should be released within the week on the Mozilla addons site and deviantART.

Here are some previews:

Tabs on Bottom

Tabs on Top

The gray statusbar you see is using the same style as the navbar in the tabs on top version. It is not fully opaque, but has a slight amount of transparency to give the look of frosted glass. I thought it looked a bit cleaner than the standard fully transparent statusbar. The findbar and all other bottom toolbars are also in the same style of course.

Wow !

What a great work ! Thanks for your work, i can't wait to see this !!!

Ya, we're working on a good style for the tab scroll buttons at the moment. Currently we're still using the default ones.

Whats more annoying than the button is the tab scroll activates like no matter what when I only have like 5 tabs open even when i go into about:config and completely disable the feature or change the amount of tabs for it to activate.

looks great (Y) only problem is with the stop button

EDIT: Nevermind, I downloaded this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/313

You don't need to install any addon this code in your userchrome would work just fine. It works for me.

#stop-button[disabled="true"] { display:none; } 
 <pre id="view-code" style="display: block;"><code id="stylish-code">#stop-button:not([disabled]) + #reload-button { display:none; }</code></pre>

or if you have stylish use this http://userstyles.org/styles/10

Anyone remember the code for stylish to make the status bar text lighter? the updated theme makes it black text in front of the white glow so is hard to read on dark desktop wallpapers!

You could try something like this:

 .statusbarpanel-text {
   color: white !important;
   text-shadow: black 0px 0px 4px !important; }

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.

    • Around 68% of developers are now using AI to generate code during development, and some experts are saying that a single developer using AI tools can now do the work of an entire team of 4 to 5 engineers.  According to Figma's State of the Designer 2026 report, 72% of designers now use generative AI in their workflows and 91% say it improves the quality of their work, not just their speed.  But does this mean web developers and designers are becoming less relevant, or are they simply evolving into a different kind of role? Would love to hear from developers and designers here has AI made your job easier, or do you feel threatened by how fast these tools are improving
