Seven - Firefox 4 theme


Recommended Posts

Update time.

2.0

Started mostly from scratch on this version. Redesigned the tabs, added some new icons, added better support for Aero Basic. Works with Firefox 9+. Should hopefully work well with multi tab row add-ons.

Looks nice :)

I'm not the biggest fan of glass tabs but that's just my personal taste, great job as always!

Very nice (Y)

The inactive tabs are something I really have a hard time with. If I make it too grey it just looks bad, too transparent and it makes it hard to read. You can however easily change it to a color you like:

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected]) .tab-background-middle {
  -moz-box-flex: 1 !important;
  background-color: rgba(255,255,255,.35) !important;
}

Thank you :)

Great Job. :D

great work as always Soapy :)

between you and Zain you two are my favorite designers

Thanks a lot :D

Is it possible to change the tab height? I'd like to reduce it slightly.

Thanks in advance.

Sure, try this:

.tab-content {
  height: 22px !important;
  min-height: 22px !important;
  max-height: 22px !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[selected] .tab-content {
  height: 23px !important;
  max-height: 23px !important;
  max-height: 23px !important;
}

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've mostly made all the customizations I want/need, but there's one last thing I can't seem to get right: I'm trying to get rid of the blue color in the appmenu and style it like how it looks like by default, but I can't seem to figure out how to get rid of the blue border around the button itself:

Any ideas? Thanks in advance again!

EDIT: Just realized I forgot to compliment you on your work, by the way. You're one of the reasons I continue using Firefox in Linux instead of switching over to Chrome, thanks!

EDIT2: Bug report, this is what happens when the AOM is launched.

#appmenu-button {
  -moz-border-left-colors: hsla(0,0%,100%,.5) hsla(210,59%,13%,.9) !important;
  -moz-border-bottom-colors: hsla(0,0%,100%,.5) hsla(210,59%,13%,.9) !important;
  -moz-border-right-colors: hsla(0,0%,100%,.5) hsla(210,59%,13%,.9) !important;
}

Should fix the border color.

Not sure why the tab text is doing that, very odd.

how do i change the FF button to the original size? don't like the small one.

Add to userChrome.css or Stylish:

#appmenu-button .button-icon {
list-style-image: none !important;
}

#appmenu-button {
padding: 0 1.5em .05em !important;
min-width: 0 !important;
width: auto !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-text {
visibility: visible !important;
}

I'm not really sure what you mean, this theme has nothing to do with my Australis theme.

i m saying that.

Australis 1.1 theme is not showing me bookmark button next to reload...

there is no bookmark star button so i use ctrl+D to bookmark

can u solve that problem

Yes, it does indeed. Can't say I notice any decrease in font sharpness on my end though.

It's not a huge difference. It's just something I notice because I zoom in really close when developing themes. It seems that the Windows font rendering adds some "fuzz" to the letters, the opacity hack just makes it a bit sharper by removing that.

SHH, the nav-bar sees to have double borders at the bottom; one of them a light-blue, the other darker in shade.

I'd like to remove the lighter one; is that possible?

    • About bloody time. I have got PRs with hundred of files and the Web UI just struggling to even load the pages.
    • I wonder if it was applying secure boot certificates/dbx files?
    • I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
