WIth the 3.6 version of firefox, hovering over tabs in the taskbar turns everything that is transparent in firefox black. Is there a way to fix this? :

Could you tell me your theme you are using please?

EDIT: Found it - Soft7 1.6

Sweet theme. Thanks.

One small issue that I'm having is that when a page is loading, the urlbar gets longer and pushes everything to the right. How to fix this

EDIT:

Never mind. I found that the issue was related to ReloadEvery.

No longer works... what does THAT mean? where (OS, Firefox version etc.) and what does it happen?

As I said it doesn't matter. But I'm running Windows Vista 64bit with Firefox 3.5.4 (Also didn't do anything in 3.5.3). This was for the tabs on top. Those in IRC knew what I was talking about. All of a sudden the Stylish script decided to work. So I'm using that now.

But yeah, the Tabs on Top just wouldn't do anything.

Yeah, I had some trouble with StrataBuddy but it started to work all of a sudden. Not sure what I did but in between my many restarts of Firefox, StrataBuddy decided to work for me. Odd.

Thanks though! I had to fiddle around with a few extensions but I've got it the way I like it. :D

Edit: Hmm. I was trying to avoid using Stylish but it seems to be easier to manage in the long run. I have the tabs on top option checked in StrataBuddy, but there's a visible flash of the tabs switching when I first open Firefox. Stylish doesn't do this so I'm just going back to that. Still using StrataBuddy for the progress bar on the tabs with Information Tab, though.

Just thought I would jump in on this thread and say how smooth and simple it was to get this skin up and running with all the extra features.

Running Windows 7 64-bit.

So, thanks to the author. :]

Anyway to make the status bar behave like it does in Chrome and only show when you mouse over a link?

I tried some autohide taskbar exention, but it messes with the glass effect :(

I've switched back over from ChromePlus because this theme is great, but Firefox is such a waste of screen estate compared to Chrome.

Thanks

StrataBuddy isn't changing anything at all for me... when I restart Firefox its as if I didn't make any changes at all in it, I'm running Firefox 3.5.4 in Windows 7 32 bit, I don't really know where to begin to troubleshoot this. Can anyone help?

Just keep randomly clicking and restarting and enabling the stylish script and eventually it'll work.

Do you have the 'Tools' button on the toolbar? You might also try clicking reset in StrataBuddy options, restart Firefox, then choose your settings again.

Finally got it working, if anything under Bookmarks is checked for me it negates all settings, and I have to keep the Zune theme checked, one problem that I have is that the bottom bar does not appear to be glassed, as seen here- http://imgur.com/JKY9U.jpg

I added the tool button to my Firefox and change the settings from there, I'm not sure if that's why things are working now.

That is normal, its a design choice by SpewBoy.

To get the bottom glass install StrataGlass - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14288/

He already has StrataGlass installed. I made that design choice because that is how it is in the 3.7 mockups. They are the only mockups that actually feature a status bar. It is actually half transparent and does feature glass effects ;)

I know it's transparent on mine.

Not completely, but the screenshot here isn't transparent at all.

edit: I've just realised he must have his Aero colour intensity setting really high? Mines is practically all the way to the left that maybe explains why my status bar is noticeably transparent.

is there anything i can do about the black header on the history sidebar? it looks a bit fugly and i'd like to change it if possible.

Are you using StrataGlass or the Aero Glass option in StrataBuddy?

after the recent firefox update i'm getting bugs on the tabs on top, like the bar that is on the bottom of the tabs is carrying over and is overlaying all the tabs.

I'll post a screen if you don't get what i mean

Post a screenshot if you can.

Are you using StrataGlass or the Aero Glass option in StrataBuddy?

i had strata glass installed and an old version of strata buddy that didn't have an aero glass option. but i've just found a new version and that's allowed to me to uninstall strata glass and fix my problem. thanks for the pointer. :)

(trying to auto update from strata buddy 0.1.5.0 didn't find anything so i had to update manually)

    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
    • Amen, they are a shady company... they modify my site to remove inline ads and then cry about subscribing to their services, a few things they "bravely" did in recent years: In 2020, Brave was caught automatically appending its own affiliate referral codes to URLs when users typed the web addresses of crypto exchanges (like Binance and Coinbase) into the address bar. Following significant backlash, the CEO apologized and the feature was disabled. In 2023, the company faced criticism after users noticed a paid VPN service was installed on their computers without their explicit consent. TOR Privacy Leak: In 2021, Brave's private Tor tabs were found to be leaking DNS queries to internet service providers, a flaw that was subsequently patched. Passive Cryptocurrency Donations: In early versions of the browser, Brave automatically collected user contributions and held them in a pool to be distributed to creators. If a creator had not signed up to claim their funds within a certain time frame, the process sparked criticism about where the money went.
    • I think they still believe it but are realizing that those statements created massive backlash and impacted adoption. I personally think AI, if used regularly will give you back about 30% of your time if you are an “information” worker.
