I have two buttons positioned at the extreme left side of the toolbar. From left to right, one is for new tab and the second is for the "home page". Both buttons are png files stored in a local directory:

toolbox[iconsize="small"] #new-tab-button > .toolbarbutton-icon { list-style-image: url("file:///e:/Pics/newtab.png") !important; padding-top: 9px !important; padding-left: 4px !important; }

toolbox[iconsize="small"] #home-button > .toolbarbutton-icon { list-style-image: url("file:///e:/Pics/home.png") !important; -moz-image-region: rect(0px,18px,16px,1px) !important; padding-bottom: 2px !important; }

The thing that I cannot understand is why it seems that this part, "-moz-image-region: rect(0px,18px,16px,1px) !important;", is necessary for the home button png to be displayed. Omitting it gives me a blank space (which is still functional in that clicking on the blank space sends me to the home page). There is no other image in the rectangle and the png in question is 19x17 px. I have tried fiddling with various padding settings, left, right, bottom, and top with no success.

I have no problem with the new tab png.

Try using this instead.

-moz-image-region: auto !important;

Thanks, Soapy, that works just perfectly :) .

(But what is special about the home button that is requiring specifying "-moz-image-region" at all? Why don't I need it for the new tab?)

All the toolbar buttons are already given a list-style-image and -moz-image-region. If you try to point it to a new list-style-image it will still use the old -moz-image-region value. Setting -moz-image-region: auto just tells it to use the whole image. Hope that makes sense.

Okay, thanks for the explanation :)

In other words, a standalone png (like the new tab one) wouldn't need the moz-image-region but the various pngs that are normally part of toolbar.png will. I hope I got that right!

Foxxyn8, thanks for those links. I had referred to the first one when I wanted to point to a specific button in the multibutton image. My confusion arose after I reduced the multibutton image to a single button image with Gimp. But all is well (for) now.

Hi is there a way to have the download window work like it does in this mockup.

My God that mockup is so beautiful. Someone needs to make it a reality.

Also I believe there were a couple of test builds that actually have that functionality. you click the download button and that download window pops up exactly like in the preview. It never made it into the RC though.

Follow-up requests!

Is there a way to style the buttons?

Can I get rid of the "opacity effect" on the rest of the page?

to style just those buttons start with this and add the selectors and properties you want to change:

tabmodalprompt button {
-moz-appearance: none !important;

get rid of overlay :

tabmodalprompt {
background: none !important;
}

Could someone please help me hide the "Bookmarks Toolbar w/separator" & "Unsorted Bookmarks w/separator" from the menu button > bookmarks menu.

I was using this code in FF3 but it no longer works:

/* Hide Bookmarks Toolbar Folder */

#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu, #bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu+menuseparator {display: none !important;}

Could someone please help me hide the "Bookmarks Toolbar w/separator" & "Unsorted Bookmarks w/separator" from the menu button > bookmarks menu.

I was using this code in FF3 but it no longer works:

/* Hide Bookmarks Toolbar Folder */

#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu, #bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu+menuseparator {display: none !important;}

This will hide those items in all 3 bookmark menus

#BMB_bookmarksToolbar,
#BMB_bookmarksToolbar + menuseparator,
#appmenu_bookmarksToolbar,
#appmenu_bookmarksToolbar + menuseparator,
#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu,
#bookmarksToolbarFolderMenu + menuseparator,
#BMB_unsortedBookmarks,
#appmenu_unsortedBookmarks,
menuseparator.hide-if-empty-places-result {
        display: none !important;
}

Thx Foxxy! That was perfect.

Now that I think of it, I'd like to also remove "Bookmark This Page" since I only use the icon in the locationbar for that.

Thanks again!

#BMB_bookmarkThisPage,
#appmenu_bookmarkThisPage,
#menu_bookmarkThisPage {
        display: none !important;
}

Hey, I'm not very good with my CSS syntax, but is there a way to apply a style to all toolbars EXCEPT for the navigation bar? For example, #navigator-toolbox {} lets me adjust settings for all toolbars simultaneously, but I'd like to exclude the navigation bar from this set. Thank you.

Thanks, foxxyn8!

I got the buttons sorted out. But a comment about the "background: none !important;" bit. On my net-banking site, when I use "background: none !important;" the modal dialog box (if that's the phrase) appears a bit transparent with the contents of the page underneath the box being somewhat visible. Changing it to "background: black !important;" wipes out the rest of the page until I close the box by hitting "OK" so I'm going with "background: black !important;".

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
