Is it possible to have the autohide bookmarks style without enabling the bookmarks toolbar? I want to make the bookmarks button always visible.

you could try this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon//

Also, how do I use DOM Inspector to view the class/id of the context menu or menu entries?

Also, for things like the window that comes up with Alt, Tools, Options.

Check in chrome://browser/content/browser.xul. Search by tag for for menu, meunupopup, or menuitem or by attribute if one is known (the label would be the most obvious one.). Most context menus are descendants of #mainPopupSet, toolbar menus are usually a descendant of the toolbar.

Here's an example where I searched for the "Undo" menuitem in the main context menu:

You may also want to take a look at this Domi helper add-on which would make it considerably easier:

How would I change these toolbar icons? I tried some scripts from userstyles but none worked?

They are GreaseMonkey & Master Password.

I don't use Master Password, so I don't know its ID, but here's GM(v.2011.04.13.nightly). You would probably be able to do MP the same way once you have its ID. :

#greasemonkey-tbb {
    list-style-image: url("PATH TO IMAGE or DATA/URI") !important;
    -moz-image-region: auto !important;
}

This is with reference to Fx4 and the Aurora build on WinXP SP3 and the latest (1.1.2b1) and previous version of Stylish.

The default (starting size) of stylish.sqlite is 160 KB even though it is empty. We go about adding, editing and deleting styles. At some point, it then jumps to 224 KB. To bring it back down, I copy the styles, just a few in my case, to text files and uninstall them from Stylish (but the size of stylish.sqlite still remains at 224 KB). I go into my profile and delete the 224 KB, but now empty, stylish.sqlite, restart Fx, and see a new 160 KB stylish.sqlite. I then bring back my styles from the text files and the size is still 160 KB but I guess that the "entropy", for want of a better word, has been reduced a bit. While regularly backing up the profile folder is a must in any case, I feel (without any scientific proof) that this exercise improves the "quality" of the stylish.sqlite file.

as a side note, windows users can actually use this method to vacuum all the sqlite DBs in your Fx profile folder(or any folder):

Then there's also CCleaner, a separate freeware program, that can vacuum both Firefox and Chrome databases and do a lot of other stuff.

I need help, please!

I want to have a slightly darker color instead of the light grey that is visible in the three panels in this image.

Specs: WinXP SP3, Aurora build, no theme, no personas, but a Stylish code is in use that gives part of the image the non-standard look.post-369494-0-76928400-1302852702.png

Thanks, I found the ID in the inspector but have a slight problem.

There is only one toolbar icon ID and there are 2 toolbar icons, one is red for disabled and the other is green for enabled.

The ID changes both the enabled and disabled icons to the same icon when I applied in stylish which makes it hard to see first glance if it's enabled or disabled.

Is there a way I can move the text in the url bar to the right by 2 or 3 pixels? It seems like the first letter of the url text is being partially cut off in my firefox and I have no idea what's causing it. It's not a huge problem but it's bugging the hell out of me. :wacko:

Edit: Actually, it seems that stratiform is causing it.

I think I got it kinda, sorta, the way I want with this:

dialog,

prefwindow *,
settings,
update,

{
  -moz-appearance: none;
  background-color: #333 !important;

This is what I'm seeing:

It looks like each tab and the panel itself has a fat grey border. There are also little vertical bars on either side of "Accessibility", "Browsing", etc that needn't be there.

Hey foxxyn8,

how exactly did you make those tabs have no border-radius and be so close to eachother like in this image:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12843960/firefox_bookmarks.png

Also im trying to find a way to make this work but w/o success (though i've managed to do it properly for facebook since it doesnt have subdomains):

#main-window[stylish-url^="deviantart.com"] #urlbar{
  style;
}

if its:

#main-window[stylish-url^="http://www.deviantart.com"] #urlbar{

it works but only for that page, i need something that works on all deviantart.com domains/subdomains (cause we know how many subdomains that site has).

Sample of what it will look like once im done:

post-267886-0-34842400-1302923668.png

You can change "^=" to "*=" and that'll select any URL with "deviantart.com" in it.

lol i cant believe i didnt think about it, i should just quit webdesigning /facepalm (i will add the excuse of current time which is almost 7am :#).

Anyway, if anyone is interested to use the userstyle for that deviantArt url, feel free to ask

Hey foxxyn8,

I didn't do that. I like my tabs with rounded corners, but whoever did it either created a new border image or completely remade the tabs with css

Also im trying to find a way to make this work but w/o success (though i've managed to do it properly for facebook since it doesnt have subdomains):

#main-window[stylish-url^="deviantart.com"] #urlbar{

post-267886-0-34842400-1302923668.png

why not use [stylish-domain] instead of [stylish-url]

Ok, thanks for the quick replies, guyz.

I didnt use it cause i didnt know it existed xD, i started working on stylish yesterday so im pretty new to this (mostly in finding stuff through DOM inspector and some stylish related options).

I've managed to remove the border-radius from the tabs but im having trouble shrinking the distance between tabs (i think its about 2pixels long for me, while in that screenshot its 1px).

Hey can someone help me to put a white line at the top of the navigation bar just under the black border just under the tabs.

I've got this so far, but I'm not expert in CSS lol.

#navigator-toolbox > toolbar:not(#toolbar-menubar):not(#TabsToolbar):not(:-moz-lwtheme):not(#PersonalToolbar) {
border: 2px solid transparent !important;
-moz-border-top-colors: rgb(40%,40%,40%) #F7FAFD !important;
-moz-border-left-colors:  rgb(40%,40%,40%) rgb(228,235,244) !important;
-moz-border-right-colors: rgb(40%,40%,40%) rgb(228,235,244) !important;
}

The problem with this is that I don't want the borders on the left and right of the nav bar. The nav bar slightly enlarges because of the extra borders which I don't want and the selected tab has the white line on it which I don't want.

Thanks.

#navigator-toolbox > toolbar:not(#toolbar-menubar):not(#TabsToolbar):not(:-moz-lwtheme):not(#PersonalToolbar) {
	border-top: 1px solid #fff !important;
}

Not sure if this is what you are looking for

Is there any way to change appmenu button height, I can make it higher without any problem, but I like to change change height from default to bit smaller one?

try this (adjust as desired) :

#appmenu-button { 
    max-height:10px !important; 
    font-size: smaller !important;
}

    • I'm not happy with myself for it, but I've gone and got hold of it. Just another 45 minutes and I'll be Bond, James Bond. In my defence, IO's Hitman series is awesome, and I'm a sucker for 007. So while it might seem a bit simplified compared to Hitman, I'm sure I'll be right at home.
    • Or just check the script yourself ^^. I hate having a Microsoft account tied to my windows install.
    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe I have fond memories of classic James Bond games from the Electronic Arts era. Using high-tech gadgets, sneaking into parties, and dispatching bad guys were wildly exciting activities for my younger self. In recent years, Bond games have entirely disappeared, alongside the super spy genre. Fast forward to 2020, imagine my surprise when IO Interactive announced it had secured the Bond IP to make a game. Considering the studio’s Hitman history, this project is one I keenly kept an eye on. Six years later, 007 First Light is finally here, and after spending time inside this globe-trotting adventure, I can safely say that my excitement for this developer’s take on this universe was not unfounded. IO has taken lessons it has learned from Hitman and combined them with what I would expect from a directed cinematic experience like James Bond. I have refrained from mentioning major plot points to save you from story spoilers in this review. This is an original story that doesn’t tie into any movies, so there isn’t an expectation of knowing the backstory or the decades of movies either. Bond, James Bond When 007 First Light begins, Bond is just Bond. There isn’t a spy angle, fancy gadgets, or even a secret mission. The introductory mission is framed to show how James Bond handled himself and how he does not care about the odds when it comes to saving lives. It’s a gorgeous level as well, showing off an island scattered with cliffs in the middle of a storm. Looking back, this is probably the best-looking level in the game, with IO showing off all its abilities with its custom engine, Glacier. But my favorite ended up being the follow-up to this level. Once the United Kingdom's foreign intelligence agency, MI6, recruits our daring youngster into its super-spy “00” program, training begins. However, instead of treading through the same tutorial missions where the game teaches you to run and jump and drive, IO opted for a montage, and it’s amazing. The scenes cut between Bond practicing and improving his marksmanship, parkour, hand-to-hand combat, and driving as weeks go by in his training. What impressed me here was the lack of any loading screens or stutters as scenes instantly switched to different locations entirely, as if I was watching a movie. This creativity is a trend I noticed in most levels, where there is some sort of gameplay or choreography mechanic being introduced to keep things interesting. Soon, the rest of the cast is introduced, bringing other agents that our favorite secret agent will be working with, the scientists and engineers that build MI6’s spy gadgets, as well as higher-ranking officers that either appreciate or (at best) tolerate Bond’s rebellious attitude. It’s a tight cast, all with incredibly good voice acting and personalities that quickly grew on me. The casting for Bond himself is also an excellent one. From showing his iconic soft spot for women to the condescending smiles that get a rise out of enemies, I had no issues getting immersed into this universe as this new face of James Bond. The missions take place in a wide range of locations as MI6 sends Bond to tackle dangers that are growing everywhere from the UK to Africa. These aren’t unrelated adventures where MI6 is sending secret agents, which is an angle I would love to see in another game, but a part of a bigger conspiracy affecting the entire world. Some of the twists and turns were all too predictable, and the character that Lenny Kravitz played made me cringe a little too much. But all in all, I enjoyed the campaign’s storyline that sets the stage for this new agent joining the illustrious “00” program. Plenty of Possibilities The third-person style of IO Interactive fits this role quite well. Bond is presented as a master at hand-to-hand combat as well as firearms, while also having a knack for being stealthy when required. Most sections of missions have a lot of freedom. This means I could beat up every goon and security guard on the way to an objective, slip past them without sounding a single alarm, or do a mix of both. My sessions usually end up with the third option because I tend to be impatient about waiting for a patrol to move. Drawing from its Hitman genes, the developer almost always gives multiple routes for going through missions. Levels can be massive, sometimes sporting hundreds of NPCs going their own ways and having conversations. If my objective is to break into a security room on the third floor, I could look around for roof access, eavesdrop on conversations to find out where someone lost a key, create a distraction and pickpocket a guard for a keycard, sneak in through the vents, or simply kick down the offending door. I enjoyed the variety on offer, especially because the same solutions didn’t usually show up in different missions. Before heading out into a secret MI6 escapade, the gadget specialist of the branch walks Bond through the organization's latest and greatest achievements. This can be cool little devices like a laser built into the watch, a phone that fires poison darts, or a camera that emits a powerful shockwave. The choice of what can be taken into the mission is up to the player. I could usually find fresh routes or get out of tough situations with a punch or two, so I never had the feeling of missing out by not choosing the right equipment. It’s still a fun practice. Choosing the armaments before a mission enhanced the super spy feeling quite a bit. As I mentioned, stealth comes in as a very viable option for most of the missions, letting Bond sneak past foes or knock them out silently. While it is satisfying to clear entire areas of goons and walk away without any alarms, the way of accomplishing this could have been done better. Bond can lure enemies, sneak up and knock them out, or use a gadget to disorient them before dealing a nasty blow. Bodies cannot be moved or hidden afterward either. It’s a very simple system, which I wish were more exciting to pull off. Perhaps more stealth-orientated gadgets, distraction options, or multi-takedowns could have helped here, I think. Getting caught while attempting to be in stealth does not mean a game over. Other than getting into a fist fight, an interesting twist of 007 First Light is the bluffing option. While an enemy is confused as to what you are doing in a restricted location, Bond has the option to improvise and persuade them that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. These are fun little dynamic interactions with unique dialog depending on the mission and location, giving a few extra moments for Bond to go past suspicious guards smoothly. It’s the first time I’ve witnessed this system in a game, and I hope to see more. License to Kill Bond isn’t just dealing with security guards or civilians. From time to time, entire gangs of gun-toting mercenaries show up in levels looking to take down our protagonist. It is then that License to Kill mode is activated for Bond, letting him use firearms with no restrictions. I was surprised by just how tight gunplay is in 007 First Light. The weapons feel powerful and satisfying to fire, with single bullets capable of taking down an enemy with a headshot. Ammo is scarce, and enemies don’t drop weapons with full magazines most of the time. This forces a hectic kind of gameplay where I am always advancing towards enemies to take their weapons after they are downed. Things like shooting legs to immobilize, aiming at the hands to make their weapon go flying, blowing up nearby fire extinguishers for cover, and using gadgets to halt a goon in their tracks while I reload, make up enjoyable levels. I had to hold back my disappointment when the enemy count in these action sequences dropped to zero and I had to go non-lethal again. Speaking of action sequences, First Light isn’t just offering sandbox levels to complete at the player’s own leisure either. Each level comes with specific linear and directed scenes to move the story forward and put Bond in tight situations. These usually end up with high-octane chases or driving sections, offering the chance to witness chaining explosions, hails of gunfire, and scripted parkour scenes that remind me of Mission Impossible movies more than Bond. Elements like seeing James Bond jump out of a plane without a parachute or drive through buildings in London inside a trash truck were fantastic and always left me at a high point when finishing a mission. The classic James Bond theme is sprinkled in here too, which only happens a handful of times in the game, but at just the right moments. Visuals and Performance Compared to Unreal Engine 5 games we are seeing nowadays, 007 First Light isn’t flexing a huge amount of realism when it comes to graphics. The models, textures, and effects all feel a little dated, with the starting mission that I mentioned being the most visually striking. However, the complete lack of stutters, the hundreds of NPCs that can be on screen without a single hitch, massive sandbox levels, and smooth transitions between them all play a part in making this an immensely immersive and complex experience. The in-engine cutscenes are gorgeous as well, offering an upgraded visual style and model detail over the gameplay sections. Animations are one aspect that jumps out at me about any new game, and First Light has nailed what a third-person action game should feel like. Walking, sneaking, and running all have a heaviness to them that I appreciate. Whenever Bond moves past a wall or a ledge, his arms reach out to lightly hold those structures until he moves away. NPCs actually react to my character and move out of the way. Even during melee combat or takedown animations, the fists impacting a body or a head hitting a wall all have that same weight. Even the more frivolous animations, like catching a gun in midair or chucking an empty one at a goon (yes, you can do that), are satisfying to pull off. Of course, the in-engine cutscene animations are remarkably well done too, with facial animations and the upgraded model details improving my engagement with the characters. I have an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB paired with an eight-core Ryzen 7 3700X and 32GB of RAM, with the game running at 1440p resolution. Deciding to completely max out all the graphics options gave me a range of frame rates between 60 and 100 depending on the scene and level. While I did try to enable AMD FSR, which bumped up the frame rates by a good 20% at Quality mode, IO Interactive’s implementation of the technology wasn’t that great. Every corner and edge in levels began shimmering, and I was also seeing smearing issues in fast-moving sections. The title seemingly uses the older generation FSR 3.1 and not the machine learning-assisted FSR 4, leading to these artifacts. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to manually upgrade this right now either. I opted to turn off the upscaling and play the game in native 1440p to avoid problems. I would say the FPS range I was getting was an acceptable one for a single-player action game for my setup. I do wish there were an FOV slider option in the settings. While the camera is far enough back for my tastes in most situations in this third-person adventure, at times the perspective is far too close. When trying to look around quickly and spot targets, I realized I was getting a slight headache at times due to the use of an almost over-the-shoulder close-up camera. Conclusion Being James Bond in 007 First Light is a treat. Traveling around the world chasing conspiracies, using high-tech gadgets disguised as everyday accessories, and improvising on the spot to fool foes all give a fantastic feeling of being a super spy. For an origin story, IO Interactive has done a great job at introducing the character and his motives for doing what he does. The satisfying combat animation and fantastic voice acting are definitely high points, with the License to Kill moments being my favorite. Not being able to move bodies and the simplistic stealth of mechanics does hurt its presentation a little. The NPC logic and intelligence is easy to manipulate and trick, repeating the same actions over and over again if I keep making distractions. The lack of an FOV slider was also a pain (quite literally) at times, and the FSR implementation is quite poor. These are things I hope the studio will improve upon with updates. Even with its faults, IO Interactive and James Bond are a match made in heaven. The studio knows how to make a main character that oozes charm and competency while also leaning heavily into its Hitman experience to make gigantic levels with what looks like hundreds of NPCs roaming around. Being an origin story, IO’s Bond has a way to go before he becomes the highly effective agent we see in the movie world. I am hoping the studio will continue this series alongside its Hitman ventures going forward, just so we get to experience the journey for longer. 007 First Light is available on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox PC), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 for $69.99. This review was conducted on the PC version of the game provided by IO Interactive.
