This is exactly what I've been looking for to get Firefox exactly as I want it...

...except for one thing: my active tab has an opacity setting (I'm guessing around 50%) whereas I'd rather that the active tab was solid.

I've looked through nav-tabs.css and tinkered with some of the opacity settings (as well as some alpha values) but without success.

Can anyone tell me how to make the active tab opaque? Incidentally, the border that runs underneath the tabs for the full width of the window still has the solid colour - even underneath the active tab.

Check out my userstyles. If you don't find one to your liking I may be able to whip something up, let me know. By default the bottom tab bar border should be the same color as the active tab. I'm still using AeroBuddy 1.03 as the newer versions are really geared for the Firefox 3.7alpha's and not 3.6. I recommend 1.03 if you're using 3.6.

Does this work on XP?

Aero is not supported on XP in any shape or form. The only way to get window transparency is with some unstable third party app or using Windowblinds themes, which to get the app itself costs.

And even then it's never certain if the addon will work.

Is there any way to remove the white line from around the menu bar ?

This is to do with the theme you're using, AeroBuddy is designed for use with the default theme and may produce undesirable after effects in others.

Yochanan, I took a look around your user styles and while useful in their own right, they didn't solve the little problem I have.

In my screenshot (first time I've used Jing and Screencast) you should be able to see what I'm talking about. Can anyone explain why the tab appears to have a transparency setting which is different from the tab bar border, and how I might change the selected tab back to the same appearance as the tab bar border?

You may have a conflicting userstyle or add-on causing that. In all 3 of my styles, the active tab and bottom tab bar border match in color. Wait... in your screenshot it looks like neither AeroBuddy nor Windows Aero is enabled. Looks like a Persona is there as well. Personas do not work with AeroBuddy, either. :huh:

Your background makes it look like you're not. :p My styles are not tested on AeroBuddy 1.04 or higher. Again, If you're using Firefox 3.6 I recommend 1.03 as the newer versions are designed more for 3.7alphapre.

    • Is it still super slow or has it improved on that area?
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon by Taras Buria Files, one of the best third-party file managers for Windows 11 out there, has received a minor update to version 4.1.3. The latest release brings a few quality-of-life improvements and new features, including an easier way to calculate folder sizes, improved tags, a new OneDrive icon, and more. Starting with folder size, File now has a dedicated "View size" button for each folder if you have the "Calculate folder sizes" option turned off in settings. This improves performance and allows you to see each folder's size only when needed. Note that folder size calculation could take some time depending on the number of files and their "weight." Next, Files can now retain file selection when switching layouts. While this change is rather minor, it lets you keep selected objects highlighted whenever you need to switch, say, from a list to a thumbnail layout. If you use tags, you will be glad to know that Files 4.1.3 makes it easier to remove all tags. You can do that with one of the following methods: From the context menu — right-click an item, open the Tags submenu, and choose Remove tags. From the toolbar — when the Edit Tags button is pinned to the toolbar, the same option appears in its menu. From the Command Palette — open the Command Palette and search for Remove tags. You can also assign your own keyboard shortcut to it from Settings. The final visible change is the new OneDrive icon. Files now pulls the icon directly from the OneDrive executable, which means the app always has the up-to-date version. As for the fixes, developers resolved the following bugs: Fixed an issue with extracting tar archives. Fixed an issue where the Signatures page would occasionally cause a crash. Fixed an issue where the Play action wasn’t available when a single media file was selected. Fixed an issue where Smart Extract would extract archives to the wrong location when switching tabs. Fixed an issue where tag search excluded folders when grouping by type. Fixed an issue where thumbnails would sometimes fail to refresh after a file was modified. Fixed an issue where a BitLocker-locked drive wasn’t displayed. Developers also revealed what is coming in future updates. Soon, Files Preview will get a new Tree View sidebar, allowing you to display folders in an expandable hierarchy, which is a popular way to browse deeply nested folders. Expect the feature to arrive in the preview channel in upcoming updates. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • AI programs are riddled with bugs, and it's often surprising to see how little this is acknowledged. I guess it's all the rabid enthusiasm spurred by the blind investments in it because of the word "intelligence" in the nomenclature. AI has no intelligence at all, in and of itself, and it's just like any other program as it does what its programmers have told it to do, whether they like it or not, whether they realize it or not...
