r0bc: you're using my previous tab progress line userstyle, upgrade.

Is this meant to only work on inactive tabs? How would I alter this to also show on the current tab?

The current tab's progress is shown on the URLbar (requires Fission I think) and thus it's redundant to put it on the tab, the mockups show that the active tab doesn't have the bar

KriLL3, I took the screenshot AFTER upgrading... why do you say so?

The current tab has the progressbar under the urlbar as in one of the previous mockups, while all the other tabs have it on the top of the tab itself. To have both I used a tweaked style originating from somebody who posted the code on SpewBoy's DeviantArt page in addition to KriLL3's style.

The one updated Firefox 4.0 preview image that I saw had no indication to which version of loading bar the current tab used. [The active tab has a Google search for "example" already loaded.]

But why I asked is because I don't have Fission installed anymore so I will dig into your userstyle and figure it out. I notice the loading bar also disappears on mouseover, part of the userstyle, too, I'd imagine?

Remove:

.tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] .tab-progress, .tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab[showbutton="on"] .tab-progress
{
display: none !important;
}

Fixed that, I use that personally since I have TMP set to switch tabs on mouse-over, and it was glitchy until I hid them on hover, removed it from the userstyle since that's not a common usage scenario, the inclusion was an error on my part.

Compare your screenshot with the preview I showed, you're not using the new one, the new one replaces the old one, uninstall the old one.

Of course you were right, Stylish said it had upgraded the style but it hadn't ;) I must say I liked more the previous, with the "big glow"... in the mockup it seems to me that there's anyway "more glow" than your current rendition, though clearly much less than in the previous... probably an "in-between" version would do.

My home button addon acts just like the home toolbar button. You can single click to open in the current tab or middle click to open in a new tab. The page and tools are just extra toolbar buttons. They do not interfere with Personal Menu at all. I created it so I could have almost 1:1 look with the original mockups.

I wouldn't try to hide Bookmarks Toolbar from my tools menu, for some reason it seems to cause some problems with glasser enabled. Well download it and tell me if it works well for you. Its very much a work in progress though.

If you have tabs on top you need this extra code:

.home-tab-button {
margin-bottom: -4px !important;}

I've installed both but it didn't work, nothing different from the original !

I've made a tab progress line userstyle for the Strata40 0.4.3 theme in line with the most recent 3.7 mockup (which will most likely carry over in 4.0, but they're currently focusing on 3.7 since it's in the middle of "crunch time" while 4.0 is very "pie in the sky"):

Go get it: http://userstyles.org/styles/21240 :)

Is there any possibility to get this feature without the tab mix plus addon?

The page add-on should add two additional toolbar icons, you can add them under customize toolbar. You're not by chance using "Undo Closed Tabs Button" are you?

I have Tab Mix Plus installed, when i tried to disable it, the home button was on top just like your screenshot.

But when i enable Tab Mix Plus, the home button restored to it's original, so is there anyway to make the addon home on top work with tab mix plus ? :D

There should be other addons that do part of what TMP does and perhaps one that just adds progress bars on tabs but I don't know them, if you find one point it out to me and I can adapt the userstyle to make use of it.

I searched and I think this is an addon which can do this: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/4930

It would be great if you can disable the other features of this addon with css if possible and can create an userstyle for this :)

Anyone know the fix to this?

To fix the Personal Menu text bug (unrelated to my theme) do one of the following:

* In Personal Menu's advanced options tab make sure "Show temporarily by pressing ALT key" is unchecked.

* Download and use Firefox 3.6 or 3.7 and uncheck "Hide menu bar" in Personal Menu's options tab. Right click on the menu bar to hide it and press ALT to show it by default.

Been using this for the last 24 hours, and I think it's a keeper! Anyone know how to keep the Home Tab showing while using TMP for the individual tab loading bars?

After a long period of hard work, we've brought to you StrataBuddy!

This addon includes three custom toolbar buttons, Tools, Page, and Bookmarks. It also allows you to customize Strata40 to make it resemble the 3.7 Mockups.

To access the customization options, go to the addons window and go to the addon's options. From there, you can choose what optional components you would like to use.

Features:

Accurate Firefox 3.7 Graphics, most of them Remade

Customization Features, including Alternative Back/Forward Buttons

New 3.7 Styled Reload/Stop Buttons

Animated Effects for Many Buttons

Page, Tools, and Bookmark Buttons

Aero Glass Effects

Tab Progress Line

Tabs on Top

Tab/Bookmark Background

and many more...

Note: This theme has graphics resembling SpewBoy's images, but most of SpewBoy's images have been recreated completely from scratch including Back/Forward (except for the arrows, which were borrowed from SpewBoy's Back/Forward), URLBar, IDBox, SearchBar, and Stop and Reload, which were created in his style toolbar buttons.

Yeah..nothing changes when i use stratabuddy

What happens exactly? You install it and nothing happens at all? First, make sure you restart Firefox after you install it. Then, double-check it is installed and running in your addons window. Then, right-click on the addon and go to options. Check in a few options, then restart Firefox.

If nothing happens after that, let me know.

Did you restart FF after you checked in some options?

Is Page, Tools, etc. missing? Try right clicking an area under the urlbar and clicking customize. Then, drag on the new Page, Tools, Reload, and Stop buttons onto your toolbar.

Glad I could help :).

I had to upload Home separately from StrataBuddy, so it wasn't ready at the same time. I am going to update the theme's description with a link to the home addon in a few minutes.

    • You can disable the bloat on every browser. That's not the point. I will never use a browser of a shady company. I don't trust them at all. I can still find adblocking solutions than having to rely on a browser from a shady company.

    • Alpine Linux 3.24 released with support for COSMIC Desktop and other improvements by David Uzondu Alpine Linux 3.24 has been released with updated system packages, including Linux kernel 6.18 and Rust 1.96. The team also added IPv6 support to the system installer, and they introduced automatic serial console configuration for headless setups. System76's COSMIC desktop environment is now available in the community repo. System76 originally started building this DE because its developers found GNOME to be pretty limited. Plus, it did not help that with virtually every GNOME update, the changes broke System76's custom desktop extensions. As for system packages, the Alpine team moved GTK+ 3.0 from the main repository to the community repository due to its legacy status. py3-setuptools has been upgraded to version 82.0.0, while the old pkg_resources module has been completely dropped. The team also removed outdated packages that still relied on py3-six and GTK+ 2.0. In addition to that, libsoup 2 has been removed because the library was affected by multiple security vulnerabilities. If you're a GRUB user, the Alpine Team said that you must manually run the grub-install command with your specific device or EFI options right after upgrading your system, otherwise, your computer may fail to boot properly with the newly updated GRUB 2.14 bootloader. New installations of Alpine Linux now offer an optional path to a /usr-merged directory layout if you set the BOOTSTRAP_USR_MERGED environment variable to 1 before you execute the setup-disk command. If you already run an older installation, you can migrate manually by installing the merge-usr package and executing its binary as the root user. The team recommends this layout to align Alpine with modern Linux standards, though you should verify your custom scripts before making the switch. Alpine Linux is a pretty tiny (~5MB) Linux distro built around musl libc, BusyBox, and OpenRC. It's been around since 2005, comes with its own package manager called Alpine Package Keeper (APK), and is widely used in modern cloud computing and software deployment.
    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.
    • Hello mysterious lamborghiniv10, I was in Australia and... now I'm in the Netherlands. 
    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”
