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.

    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
    • Honestly you're not wrong about AdGuard. Neowin frequently has lifetime license discounts for them and that's how I got my cheap family license a few years ago to run it on all my devices.
