I don't do (too) much program customization so how do I basically incorporate these scripts. I'm pretty sure it's modification of a js script (.js) in the program directory but what and where?

Also using the x64 build of Minefield nightly

Edit: a guide or something to read would be great, basically firefox n00b here. :(

it's not js, its css... you can learn more here https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS

to incorporate the styles, you have to ways

- the 'official', which consist in editing the file 'userchrome.css' you can find in the directory of your profile (it's in appdata).

- by using the addon styilish, you can find a compatible version here http://forum.userstyles.org/discussion/24590/stylish-for-firefox-1.1b5. Once installed, you can find the stylish icon in the customization panel. Then, right-click on the icon, click "new style" and paste the codes you find here. then give a name and save. You can also find styles ready to install: http://userstyles.org

Hi Leroy,

These codes are nothing more than CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) level 3 and are interpreted by firefox ontop or beside the theme.

Basically, you have two paths to choose:

1 - Place the code directly into userChrome.css.

Read about it here: Customizing Mozilla

2 - Use the addon "Stylish" - But I'm not sure if it works on Firefox x64

See here: Stylish

What weird bar?

Screenshot?

Tab Mix Plus 0.3.8.5pre.110110a no issues here.

Ok, I'm home and I tried it again on a brand new profile, same results (and no, it's not the addon bar)

Here are the steps I do to reproduce it:

1) Create a new profile

2) Set the home page to www.neowin.net

3) Install the latest TMP build, restart.

4) MAXIMIZE the browser, then close it (the extension restart does not always trigger it). The browser must re-open in maximized mode.

5) Open the browser, there should be a weird grey bar at the bottom (which is a section of about:blank, my Stylish skin in my main profile changes it)

Note: I think it is a Vista/7 problem only, I do not experience this on my XP machine at work

It may take one or two times for me to get it to happen, but it usually happens all the time

Does anybody know the default gradient code for the tabs, like active, inactive, hover and pressed state?

I'm trying to make the "home button as tab" but it doesn't look like it should...

Thanx ;)

from chrome://browser/skin/browser.css:

.tabbrowser-tab,
.tabs-newtab-button {
  -moz-appearance: none;
  background: -moz-linear-gradient(transparent, hsla(0,0%,36%,.15) 1px, hsla(0,0%,0%,.3) 60%), -moz-linear-gradient(-moz-dialog, -moz-dialog);

I don't know what else to do then, it happens to both my Win 7 PC and my Win Vista laptop... I'll try creating a fresh profile on my laptop to see if it does it there too

Please help. I would like bookmark labels and folder labels to be white instead of black in this style: http://userstyles.org/styles/36221

just change the last line from

#bookmarksPanel *,#history-panel *{color:grey!important}

to

#bookmarksPanel *,#history-panel *{color:white !important}

That's why I'm trying half hour while I got the specific part of your script to normal theme and getting weird results :p

Trying to figure out what I can do on dark windows backgrounds...

One solution is to give white titles-color on non selected tabs but with Dwrite on looking extremely ugly.

On transparent tabs? Is it easy to write a line about what you think?

.tabbrowser-tab { 
background-image: none !important;
color: #000 !important;
text-shadow: #fff 0px 0px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 3px !important; 
}

Check the situation right now...

And I'll try your code!

Damn... Seems that the code conflicts with another one and I don't get the effect like yours!...

...and I'm trying it on normal theme with very few changes...

It's hard to tell, but your screenshot looks like it already has a small text-shadow. I also use bold text which helps for visibility.

this is the exact code I use :

.tabbrowser-tab  { 
        padding:0 !important;
        margin-bottom: 0 !important;
        background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.2) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.2)) !important;
        background-size: 200% auto !important; 
        font-family: tahoma !important;
        font-weight:bold !important; 
        text-shadow: #fff 0px 0px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 10px, #fff 1px 1px 3px !important; 
}

Right!

I replaced with your code and already looking better.... I'll try bold now.

wow! Don't you have hover effect? Neither separated active and inactive tab?...

...Or all these are another part?

That's another part :)

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]):hover {
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.4) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.4)) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] { 
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(left, transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.9) 1px, rgba(161,161,161,.9)) !important;
}

Normally Dwrite looking much better without any shadow-effect but on transparent tab you certainly need one. That white-shadow did nice job.

Your script I suppose needs to rewrite it if you want border-radius on top 2px, right ( don't do anything... just asking ) ?

border-radius for the tabs? I use the -moz-border-image, so you'd either modify that image (chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png) or set it to none and define your own borders.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
