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.

    • This is not surprising of course and I stopped using Chrome years ago.
    • It's not that we have to many ads? WTF? LOL
    • I switched to AdGuard for this very reason. All my uBlock filters and user scripts ported over with no issues.
    • This is a hot take, but I only use "New" Outlook for 1 reason, the "My Day" side bar that shows your tasks and Calendar on "New" Outlook allows you to view shared calendars and not just your personal calendar. On "Classic" Outlook it only allows your personal Calendar. For my job, we have a group shared Calendar that shows appointments and scheduled tasks for the team and we don't really use our personal calendars.  
    • Opera for Android gets redesigned home page with FIFA World Cup tracker by Taras Buria FIFA World Cup 2026 is kicking off in the United States later this week, and Opera, a popular cross-platform browser, is making it easier to track matches on mobile. Today, Opera announced a redesigned home page for its Android browser. The new home page is now "more immersive" with easier access to common browser features. Users can now customize Speed Dial icons (round, square, or squircle), enjoy a new weather widget with real-time conditions, and open AI Mode or a private session with a single tap. Additionally, the browser now has a built-in football tracker, allowing you to follow your favorite team without using dedicated apps. The tracker displays live scores, notifications, and statistics in a dedicated football hub. You can also check out line-ups, match events, and more. Opera surveyed its users, and 38% of responders said they plan to follow the FIFA World Cup 2026 in a browser. The tournament starts on June 11 and ends on July 19, 2026. "By providing football fans with instant access to live scores alongside a more considered design, we’re ensuring they are never more than a tap away from the action, even when they can't watch live," said Tim Lesnik, Product Manager at Opera Mobile. For Opera users in the United States, Opera runs a contest, offering them a chance to win tickets to a match in Miami in July, Android smartphones, PlayStation 5 consoles, smart TVs, and Amazon Vouchers. Users can participate by posting on social media with the #OperaFandom hashtag from June 12 or by signing up on the official Opera website. Opera will announce winners on July 3. You can download Opera for Android from the Google Play Store using this link.
