Why can't I make the goddamn huge orange Firefox button into something that takes less space on my screen? :angry:

#appmenu-button {
  padding: 6px 8px !important;
  min-width: 0 !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-text {   
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker { 
  margin: 0 !important; 
}

Putting this in userChrome.css gets rids of it completely:

#appmenu-button { display: none !important; }

To get its functions, press alt for the menu bar.

Not really a good long term option, tbh.

I've done similar to bogas04's code and reduced it to an icon (even though I have a wide screen, it still feels useful). My code is a little different though.

    #appmenu-button {
      padding: 2px 6px !important;
      min-width: 0 !important;
    }

    #appmenu-button .button-icon {
      list-style-image: url("chrome://branding/content/icon16.png");
    }

    #appmenu-button .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker {
    margin: 0 !important;
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }

Any reason for that? Are some changes coming in that will make a difference?

I am wondering the same thing. If you ask me Mozilla should make the button movable, hideable, etc by default like Opera. Not trying to make this a argument though of which browser is better and so on. Just saying. Didn't even realize this was possible in Opera. It surprises me you can't do the same in Firefox without editing the userChrome.css or using a add-on. I finally realize what people have been talking about for so long. If you ask me if it wasn't for Firefox's free add-on system it would have no advantages. Now given that hopefully Mozilla makes this possible with the button in Firefox 4.1. I have faint they will.

Like I always said will always love Firefox and Opera the same that it is difficult to decide which one to use as my default at times. I basically go back and forth constantly.

Finally see why people asked Mozilla to include Thunderbird within Firefox too but hopefully that will never happen. Opera can somehow make their installer so small even with all the extra programs/features. No idea how but kudos to them! If it wasn't for them it wouldn't push Mozilla even more to create a better browser constantly!

New Download Manager TryBuilds are out!!

it' so sad that ff4 won't be shipped with a proper download manager :(

i dont care , i would use nightlies what so ever :p Anyhow , there is a lot of pressure already , they cant get FF4 out properly, so its good to only hope that FF4 releases ASAP

FF4 is probably still a good 4-6 weeks away :sleep:

look at all the problems that still need fixing... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=556524,586314,589670,591687,593372,603793,604699,610526,613800,614347,616518,626016,626206,626602,626678,626909,627729,628651,628872,629227,629799,629909,630072,630690,630827,630835,630877,630932,630947,630957,631494,631733,632343,632379,632781,632844,632867,632923,632964,632969,633016,633383,633409,633511,633520,633622,633672

based on this i don't think they are rushing to get FF4 out the door because the number of bugs continues to go up. and on that list it needs to be zero before its released even.

Oops lol when I quoted the post the screen wasn't there xD

Looking good!

I hope it still allows for a separate window to be opened like the current download manager. I like the ability to close the main browser window and still have the ability to continue downloads.

Yep same here. That is what I do with the default firefox download manager and DownThemAll sometimes. That is if I ever close my browser.

The only thing I hate about the default firefox download manager is if you don't let it open while downloading and close the main browser window your download stops or pauses.

Your continued bitching is :sleep: . Why don't you install the nightlies and try to do something like finding bugs and helping the developers?

So, it won't make it to final? It would've been great if it did. but well... Firefox is getting polished really neatly and I can't complain.

What's wrong with the current one?

I've never had much of a problem with it, (Aside from Windows 7 requiring me to make 2 clicks to get to it every time now thanks to the icon grouping.) but apparently Mozilla thinks there's a few things that could be improved.

    }

    #appmenu-button .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker {
    margin: 0 !important;
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }

I really like that a lot, but could someone give me the CSS to recolour the button? I've been digging through the CSS files and had no success.

Edit: And if anyone has a simple fix for making the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons translucent, that would be awesome, too.

Any reason for that? Are some changes coming in that will make a difference?

Nothing very specific, just that relying on the menu bar instead of the Firefox button isn't always going to work as the button is generally the thing superseding the menu bar.

Is there a way for firefox to open 'restore previous session' on the current window? I'm using ff4beta11.

What do you mean exactly? When you close and reopen the window, the default is that it'll open the set of tabs from last time - controlled by the Startup option on the General tab of Options. Otherwise, you have the restore tabs and restore windows options in the history menu?

He wants to restore the previous session in the same windows from the 'restore previous session' in the 'about:home' page

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
