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; }

    • Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version.

In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!
    • Write to your MP 😄 Like believing in Santa. Total surveillance IS the goal. Wake up.
    • This whole dumb age verification thing needs to die and be replaced by giving parents tools to control devices. Why am I required to plaster my ID all over the internet to prove I'm old enough when parents should be the ones dictating what their kids are doing on their phones. Apple released great set of tools for iPhones coming to iOS 27 that do just that. Why are governments not mandating that kind of control to phone makers to built them into phones. This whole thing is so absolutely idiotic it's wild.
