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,

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.

    • 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.
