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;}

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;".

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
