Is it possible to change the favicon of a local address? For example I connect to my home security camera via http://192.168.2.150 but it just has the default page icon.

I tried the usual favicon code but it refused to change?

.tabbrowser-tab[label="INSERT TAB LABEL HERE"] .tab-icon-image { 
      padding-left: 16px !important;
      background: url("PATH TO IMAGE") center no-repeat !important; 
}

I need help with a stylish or two. I'm trying to make the active tab blue according to the code from the following stylish, but I keep doing something wrong. Can someone figure out the right code and copy/paste it? I want the active tab to be highlighted in blue like the stylish does it in green, but with black or white text. http://userstyles.org/styles/33570/fx-active-tab-3d-and-shiny

There's also another stylish that I'm trying to get the code from for JUST one single feature, which is "More clear focus on the active tab, 3D effect" What is the code for it?

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!!

Is it possible to remove that white downward pointing arrow on Firefox 4's AppMenu? So that it is just an icon only when I use the Movable Firefox Button addon

edit: got it

/*hide the arrow of Firefox Button*/
#appmenu-toolbar-button > dropmarker,
#appmenu-button > .button-box dropmarker {
display: none;
}

I don't really get the point of the dropmarkers wherever they are and so I removed all of them!

* dropmarker { display: none !important}

How do I stop the Bookmark Toolbar Items from truncating?

firefox_bookmarks.png

In that example it shows double arrows but nothing is in that box. If I resize the browser smaller the single folder icon I have there will disappear into the menu provided by the 2 arrows, usually can't get it showing again until I restart the browser.

I don't really get the point of the dropmarkers wherever they are and so I removed all of them!

Cheers, used that to replace the 3 stylish scripts I previously had to remove dropmarkers!

Nobody can help me with this? I've gotten the code down to a much more manageable size. I'm trying to remove everything except for the 3D effect on the tabs. The main thing I can't seem to do no matter what I try is change the selected tab's text to white. Plus, the text looks kind of funny. Like a little too strong. Like maybe I have to remove some code for bold, or it's using the wrong font. I'd like to use Segoe UI. Also, I'd like to remove the color code for the tab itself because I use ChromaTabs Plus to color code my tabs. I just want the pop-out 3D effect with white text for the active tab and black text for the inactive tabs. Anyone know how to do it based on this code? I need help!! Thanks if you can help!!

Is it possible to remove the scroll buttons on the tab bar? I'm using a script to reduce the min width of tabs so the scroll button never appears but there seem to be a bug when you open/close tabs the scroll button flashes for a sec which causes the tabs to resize twice and it's really annoying.

Nobody can help me with this? I've gotten the code down to a much more manageable size. I'm trying to remove everything except for the 3D effect on the tabs.

If you reveal the "script", people may help you troubleshoot.

Foxxyn8, I hope you don't misunderstand me, but a lot of us Win XP (and perhaps other OS users) are going to miss out on some of the things you do even though we have Fx 4 :( :(

This hides them. But I'm not sure it will solve the problem:

.scrollbutton-up { display: none !important; }
.scrollbutton-down { display: none !important; }

Thanks. Yeah it didn't fix the problems although the scroll buttons aren't seen anymore the resizing is still noticeable. Oh well worth a shot.

You guys had it close to what I want. I messed around and got it even closer. The one thing I'm trying to change is how the inactive tabs that get stamped/pushed in become too small. They shrink. I don't want them to shrink, but I do want the active tab to have that pop-out 3D effect. Another guy found a way to do it, but his text looks too bold/strong and doesn't show up properly. I like the text of mine way better. I will show you my code and his. I'd like to merge his with mine, but only his part about the inactive tabs not shrinking. I'm using the extension ChromaTabs Plus to color code my tabs, so I don't want any color coding removed. No transparent backgrounds. It's very close to what I want. I can't even tell if the pop-out 3D effect is working currently. Maybe because of my persona. I think it is, though. I'm not sure if I want that white border around the active tab. It's giving it kind of a glowing effect. Not sure I want to keep that or not. How do I change that? I'll show you a screenshot of the way it is now. http://www.fileserve.com/file/teF4ytu

Foxxyn8, I hope you don't misunderstand me, but a lot of us Win XP (and perhaps other OS users) are going to miss out on some of the things you do even though we have Fx 4 :( :(

The maybe it would behoove you to state your OS, if you're using a persona, Minefield or Release, etc when asking for help.

How do I stop the Bookmark Toolbar Items from truncating?

firefox_bookmarks.png

In that example it shows double arrows but nothing is in that box. If I resize the browser smaller the single folder icon I have there will disappear into the menu provided by the 2 arrows, usually can't get it showing again until I restart the browser.

Had to get this from elsewhere, to answer my own question....:

#personal-bookmarks {
  min-width: 27px !important;
  max-width: 120px !important
}

    • 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.
