Print screen + paste in image editor of your choice works well, or if you have Windows 7 the snipping tool is awesome.

Thanks perfect. This is my layout, I just wished that the tabs window was not glass, and that the background tabs were also not glass, I would like to have it a little more like the blue in the first post. Thanks. Just tried colorful tabs addon, and it didn't work. Also that Firefox Icon on the top left is my Personal menu, which has a flame movement in the globe, pretty cool I think. Sorry one more thing, there is a line just under the minimize button that just stops, not important but Id like to remove it.

The Neowin fav icon needs to be in there imo ;)

hmm...

Nice! But mine doesn't look like yours!?!

You mean you apply the script and it doesn't appear like the screenshot?

I posted the updated code for the "Phoenix" button.

For just a blue button and no other changes use:

#appmenu-button{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(58,127,197,1), rgba(47,119,189,1), rgba(0,58,229,1)) !important;
}

#appmenu-button:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(78,147,229,1), rgba(0,78,213,1)) !important;
}

You can fiddle with the RGB values to get the color blue you want if that's not to your liking or grab somebody else's blue button styles (I've seen a couple, but I don't know if they shared their code).

No i havent disabled the addon checking and im usuing 2.23b2 thats on the addons website. How do i disable addon checking?

Thanks :D

Type about:config in your address bar.

Acknowledge the warning.

Create a new boolean named "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b" and set it to "False."

Restart Firefox (just in case).

That is freaking awesome

lol thanks

Thanks alot it works like a charm :D just a few other things, where do i get stylish for 4.0b2? and what scripts do i use to just put the tabs at the very top, theres too many here and i dont even have stylish yet. Also where did you get that theme for fastdial?

Here's a purple button. I'll probably do black and maybe a yellow or orange and then I'll be done messing with colors for a while unless I get a request.

You can get Stylish for 4.0b2 here. Check my first post on the first page of this thread for an itemized list of all the scripts I'm running, you'll find tabs in the titlebar there.

Managed to do all the tabs in top and move the padding on the minefield button :D where did you get the fastdial theme from?

Oh yeah. Like 95% of every other customization I use I got it from DeviantArt, of course :D I'll go find a link.

Update: http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/skins/web/firefox/?qh=&section=&q=fastchrome#/d2nt3bh

Is it even possible to come close to this with stylish:

post-251611-12796373481978.png

1. the thin bright line around the menu button.

2. colour/gradient on active tab & nav & bookmarks toolbar.

3. colour/gradient on inactive tab. (same as home button)

4. colour/gradient on home button. (same as inactive tab)

Cheers

much appreciated i apply the theme to a 5x5 grid and some of the white borders and soft edges just arent there. I dont use the icons for the representation i let the website previews do the work. Im not sure whats wrong

It's probably an extension causing it, or it could be a Stylish script. Try disabling your scripts one by one until you find the culprit. If that doesn't work try disabling your extensions one at a time.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
