So I am having 1 bug show up. As you can see from the attached screenshot, it shows the go type button showing up whenever I open a new tab.. It ONLY shows when I open a blank tab.

Are you using the latest Strata40 v0.5.5 and Stratabuddy 1.6.8 cause I don't have that problem using those versions and the same FF as you.

So I have to ask: now that they've released an updated mock-up are there plans to update this theme or start a new theme to match it?

well some of the things done are impossible to do to the ui elements with our current versions. Although Strata40 is pretty close to what you see minus the "apps button" of course.

Yeah, I get that. I don't expect to see a Firefox button anytime soon, if ever previous to Fx 4.0. However, the buttons, tabs and address bar look noticeably different in the new mock-up and those could easily be incorporated into this theme, perhaps even as another option in StrataBuddy.

There's already a new thread about it but I'll re-post the link posted there: http://blog.stephenhorlander.com/2009/12/2...themeui-update/

The pictures you see posted are the mockups straight from the Firefox dev team and were JUST released, so they haven't actually been worked on yet. I am sure Spewboy and company will post sometime today to say if they will incorporate those into their themes or not.

Awesome theme. I have it customized the way I like it, similar to the Firefox 4.0 (tabs on top) mock-up theme. My only gripe is the background colour of StrataBuddy and just about any other context window in Firefox when StrataBuddy is installed. It's a dark grey colour that retracts from the default light grey background of Firefox's context windows.

This is what I'm talking about:

The first screenshot was taken with the Strata 4.0 theme plus the recommended add-ons and the second one was taken with the default Strata theme in Firefox 3.5.6.

When I was doing StrataBuddy that was the default color of Strata40's dialog boxes. I will fix that for the next release.

Edit: you can use this for now

dialog,
wizard,
prefwindow {
   background-color: #F0F0F0 !important;
}

Hey Soapy any word on what you guys are working on? Like are you planning to incorporate any of these new things?

Yea we are working on a few things. Spew is doing a rewrite of his theme and adding the new theme design in. I'm working on the new Firefox menu, its mostly all working right now. I plan on putting an option to change between two button styles, one thats the tab like and this current one. I'm not really sure how the menu should look graphically, any ideas?

Thanks, that worked great. It took me a couple of Google searches to figure out that I needed to use that code with Stylish. :p

    • 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.”

    • Microsoft AI boss no longer believes that AI will replace human workers by David Uzondu Mustafa Suleyman, the head of Microsoft AI, recently took back his statements concerning white-collar jobs that he gave to the Financial Times in an interview made back in February, where he claimed that AI would replace office workers within 12 to 18 months. On Monday's episode of The Verge's Decoder, Suleyman recast the technology as more like a helpmate than a tool designed to take over your job. He explained that smaller office duties will "increasingly become digitized, automated" as people generate more digital materials. During the discussion, Suleyman emphasized a "very important distinction" between "tasks" and "jobs" to clarify his previous claims. He argued that his earlier comments only referred to individual actions that people perform at their desks. Suleyman used to work for DeepMind, the research lab he co-founded in 2010 alongside Demis Hassabis and Shane Legg, before he left in 2022 to establish Inflection AI and build an empathetic digital assistant. Microsoft hired him in March 2024 to lead its newly formed "Microsoft AI" division, placing him in charge of consumer products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. His February comments also detailed plans for Microsoft to achieve self-sufficiency with a $140 billion infrastructure budget to train frontier models, predicting that creating a customized AI will soon feel like creating a podcast or a new blog: The 41-year-old is not the only AI executive who's softened his "AI will replace you" stance. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, last month used X to push back against employment panic by arguing that his startup builds tools to assist humans rather than build replacements. He had previously garnered backlash by suggesting that many modern office roles that AI might replace did not qualify as "real work" in the first place, at least when you compare desk jobs to physical, historical labor like farming.
