Stratiform is an add-on for Firefox 4, which allows the user to tweak a wide range of appearance settings, which would otherwise be unavailable. The extension also doubles as a theme, allowing users to enable toolbar styles, which suit their tastes. Tab bar, Add-on bar and many other categories are also available for styling.

This is only our third alpha, but we have a lot more planned. Any kind of feedback is appreciated. If you have a bug to report please post it here.

Note:

Minefield 4.0b12pre or newer required to function correctly. Tested on 2011-02-18 build.

Soapy, great job with this.

I was sold on this version when I noticed you can make rounded buttons in the toolbar now. :D

The customization options available are very cool and I was able to get rid of 3 Stylish scripts since Stratiform does it.

This version is definitely better than the previous one as it fixed the only bug I encountered and that was not being able to access the app menu button when the browser was maximized.

Keep up the great work and look forward to the next release.

Brilliant job guys! I've been using Stratiform in FF4b11 for a while now, and truthfully, I think it's a brilliant idea. I particularly like being able to change my App Button to have different text and stuff, because that's a great way to personalize Firefox. I'm not creative though so it's just been changed to 'Strata' :p

This is so awesome! I wasn't too impressed with the previous version, but this one totally kicks ass

These are not complaints in anyways, but I do have some questions about the future versions

1) Are you planning to add a way to not only change the tab color, but the rest of the chrome as well?

2) Are there any plans to add the roundness editor to the address bar?

3) Are there any plans to add the roundness editor to the tabs?

4) This isn't really your issue, but I use this style to put the combined stop/reload on the leftside of the toolbar. However, this messes with the add-on and prevents it from being styled properly. Is there anything you or I can do to make it work better? I have a feeling it's due to the fact that I use a button image, rather than the actual button :/

Great add on. Would love additional options to square tabs and the toolbar too. If you select squared buttons and text boxes it looks very awkward cause everything else is rounded.

We would love to add that ability, but the tabs are actually images so we can't really do that. We might be able to replicate the tab style using css which would allow us to change the border radius.

I'd like the option to combine the home/bookmarks button like I currently have in Stylish.

And also an option to control the opacity of the navigation toolbar, I wouldn't mind making it more transparent.

I'll look into those options.

Guess it's only available for Minefield, what's the reason behind this?

A lot of things changed from beta11 to prebeta12/beta12, for example the tabs are a lot different, and now the links are show in the bottom left like Chrome. We thought it would be better to build it on Minefield so it works on beta12 once released.

This is great :D Thanks.

Shame it doesn't work on 64 bit Minefield though :(

There is no reason why it shouldn't work. Does it allow you to install it?

This is so awesome! I wasn't too impressed with the previous version, but this one totally kicks ass

These are not complaints in anyways, but I do have some questions about the future versions

1) Are you planning to add a way to not only change the tab color, but the rest of the chrome as well?

2) Are there any plans to add the roundness editor to the address bar?

Is there anything you or I can do to make it work better? I have a feeling it's due to the fact that I use a button image, rather than the actual button :/

1) We might be able to do something like this, but the active tab color would need to change with it.

2) Yes that's on our todo list.

3) The tabs are images so not easy to do unless we remake the tabs using css.

4) Try this code: link

Thanks for all the great comments guys.

Hmm, the changes between this and what I had are very subtle, doesn't look like it worked.

When using the pop-out Strata40 for text fields, the stop/reload still doesn't pop out when it's on the left like it does on the right. Here's an image

StopReloadPopout-2.png

Try this:

#urlbar,
#urlbar > :not(toolbarbutton):not(#identity-box),
#urlbar > toolbarbutton > image {
  -moz-transform: scaleX(-1) !important;
}

#urlbar .urlbar-history-dropmarker {
  display: none !important;
}

Only problem is the urlbar dropmarker will be on the left, unless you remove it like in the above code. It should work with any of our text field styles.

EDIT: Should probably mention, you don't need to move the buttons anywhere. They should stay to the right of the urlbar.

Are there any known compatibility issues with XP? I cannot seem to get the add-on to install on my Minefield at work for the past few builds.

I haven't tested alpha 3 in XP, but alpha 2 worked fine. There isn't really a reason why it shouldn't work however.

    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly.
