Tried to remove the jumping for ac_popup_megabar_title_and_url_two_lines.css in latest dev build.

addons_manager_alternative_appearance_compact_categories.css caused the glich in add-ons manager.

I installed 4.1.5. So what happens now is that the URLbar items don't jump, however with the huge handicap of the URL not being shown when I press alt, the switch to tab text remains.

The addon manage got worse by the categories not appearing at all, only the very left side of the highlights:

Is this not meant to be compatible with FF97?

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-13T20:49:45Z

Get v4.1.5v2. Initial release only works, if "alternative appearance" for add-ons manager is active.

Switch tab item:
Hiding the url stops jumping.
Hiding the switch to tab item did not work as expected.

mzso · 2022-02-14T04:46:17Z

@Aris-t2
Not sure if it's a good trade-off then. The URL is actually useful. And without it appearing, there's no indication that the item won't be switching tabs.

BoomerangAide · 2022-02-14T05:36:07Z

Installed CSS 4.1.5v2, and found a bug: in the "about" window, the button to download a new version is displayed with a black background when it should be gray, possibly a weird hardcoded use of the dark theme I'm not using?
Seen on 96.0.3 (that's the version of my portable version for testing)

On another note, I (apparently so far) currently managed to kill animations and other nonsense of my ie6 download button with the following code:

/* Prevent download button from turning into something else */

#downloads-button[progress] > .toolbarbutton-badge-stack > #downloads-indicator-anchor > #downloads-indicator-icon,
#downloads-button[animate][notification] > .toolbarbutton-badge-stack > #downloads-indicator-anchor > #downloads-indicator-icon {
  visibility: visible !important;
}

#downloads-button > .toolbarbutton-badge-stack > .toolbarbutton-animatable-box {
	display:none !important;
}
/**/

~~Now I'm gonna see if there are some things I can remove from all that, but I wanted to share it as is, in the case I break it and can't find how to repair it~~ 😛
edit: removed lots of stuff that ended up not being useful lol

On yet another note, after installing the aforementioned new CSS, I noticed something annoying, but in this case it may just be me not noticing it during my previous test with an older CSS version: a "Firefox suggère" (probably "Firefox suggest") element that was adding itself to my autosuggests from the url bar, getting in the way of the compactness I set up.
I managed to kill it with the following:

/* Remove "Firefox suggère" text in autocomplete */
.urlbarView-row[label]::before {
	content: none !important;
}

.urlbarView-row[label] {
	margin-block-start: unset !important;
}
/**/

Maybe it will help of help to someone

Firefox 97.0, Linux; CustomCSSforFx 4.1.5

I use : @import "./css/generalui/context_bfrsb_icons_colorized.css".
But now there is no padding between the colorized icons and text...:

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-14T10:26:33Z

Sounds like the Linux code is not applied properly after recent changes:

Does this work:

@media (-moz-platform: linux) {

  :is(#context-back,#context-forward,#context-reload,#context-stop,#context-bookmarkpage) image {
	margin: 0 !important;
	width: 16px !important;
	height: 16px !important;
  }

  :is(#context-back,#context-forward,#context-reload,#context-stop,#context-bookmarkpage):after {
	margin-inline-start: 6px !important;
  }

}

or just this:

  :is(#context-back,#context-forward,#context-reload,#context-stop,#context-bookmarkpage) image {
	margin: 0 !important;
	width: 16px !important;
	height: 16px !important;

Thanks!
The second snippet worked. 🙂
Minor annoyance; for my old eyes, the contrast of these icons with dark theme could be better. ;)

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-14T17:04:14Z

@nicolaasjan

Could you test 4.1.5v3?
Recent Fx99+ compatibility changes broke the code I previously added for Linux.

mzso · 2022-02-14T20:29:17Z

Hiding the switch to tab item did not work as expected.

Doesn't seem to be different in 4.1.5v3. I don't think I ever used either of the alternative appearance options, but it worked fine. (Only the highlight started failing a bit as I showed before.)
I kind of prefer the icon+text categories of the unaltered appearance. I just set it to be compact and use buttons.

v4.1.5v4 offers icon colors for dark theme consistent with other icon options like main toolbar icon colors and appmenu icon colors.

@mzso
The compact categories option supposed to show icons, if enabled, but previous changes did hide them. The glitch was present on your screenshot, so I took care of it (at least in my tests.)

mzso · 2022-02-14T22:59:14Z

@Aris-t2

I don't get it. It was shown, along with category names, as shown by my image:https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/4479090/153457524-800ecda8-27eb-4b23-9a43-49c1fab463b8.png
The glitch was with only the highlight. Then both got hidden. But ironically the glitchy highlight remains.

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-14T23:24:02Z

The fix was for case 2, it was broken for me. Now it is working as expected.

Have I applied it right here?

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-15T08:19:36Z

Did you also update the other files?

context_bfrsb_icons_colorized.css works fine, but context_bfrsb_labels_with_icons.css does not, when I look at your screenshot.

I only ran a quick test on Ubuntu, where the icon size and spaces matched other icons in context menu.

Either newest context_bfrsb_labels_with_icons.css is not applied correctly or this does not work for you.
No idea why.

Btw, this is on Linux Mint MATE 20.3

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-15T18:19:17Z

Not sure why Linux Mint Mate would behave differently for you, but I just tested it in a VM getting same results Ubuntu (incl. KUbuntu & XUbuntu) offers. ( Yes I have many VMs ;-) )

Hi @Aris-t2 !! I'm trying to make my own menu bar with some effects and I need the ID menu names for:
• File • Edit • View • History • Bookmarks • Tools • Help
Is that easy for you?
Thank you!!!!!

BoomerangAide · 2022-02-25T21:58:09Z

I was wondering about the changes in v5 with all those changes related to moz-os-version, and tried to search firefox source (after searching FOR firefox source for a while 🤣 ), and ran into something that maybe will be useful/relevant in the future:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/2b9a5979a66e3f68ae1dbf9e1d1ab4f11973d4c2

Aris-t2 · 2022-02-26T08:33:15Z

@Achille-Grs

@BoomerangAide
I used the info and rules from there.

The tricky part was keeping code for Fx99+ and pre-99 inside the same css files without causing Fx99+ code to break pre-99 code and vice versa and of course work cross platform.

Each time I fixed one case, I created an issue somewhere else ;-)

LoneCrusader2002 · 2022-02-28T05:50:18Z

Is there still a way to restore the "history dropmarker" in the Location Bar / URLBar or has Mozilla broken it? I don't see any options for it in userChrome.css...

Also, is there a way to hide the Tab bar when only one tab is open? I experimented with this, but it proceeded to hide my Menu bar instead. Also found this, but haven't experimented with it...

Achille-Grs · 2022-02-28T21:14:41Z

Hi @Aris-t2 !! Finaly I made something defferent for "toolbar-menubar". With your help I added simple decorative Icons in front of the text Pic 1.
I made another one too, but only icons in the center of the "toolbar-menubar" with hovering effect Pic 2 and as you can see,
the menu opensand works fine Pic 3.
Maybe it's nothing great, but it's an effort.

KenshiTakahashi · 2022-03-08T06:38:36Z

Could someone please tell me how to change the text color (username/password) of the about:logins page? When I have a light theme they are white so nothing appears in these fields.Thanks

Achille-Grs · 2022-03-09T20:06:48Z

@Crybal Can you upload a screenshot?

Thalon77 · 2022-03-10T18:28:45Z

A bit of an OT question but considering that this space is followed by many tinkerers who like to customize Firefox I have a question not related to the CSS "per se" but related to the general customization aimed to keep the old appearance and behavior.
FF V98 just came out and the foundation decided that the old downloads behaviour wasn't good enough and needed some upgrade: the result is that now you can't directly open some files without downloading them (eg: I click on a magnet link to start a torrent, I can tell Firefox to automatically let my torrent client to open it but then I always find the *.torrent file inside my download directory),
I need to try to revert the things how they were before V98 (without copies of the files I automatically open cluttering my download dir): is there a way to do so (maybe some hidden command in about: config)? Has anybody here tried to change that?

EDIT: managed to find an answer, so problem solved, I leave the solution here for others: you have to set "browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel" in about:config to false, maybe this fix could be added to that FAQ here with the other config tweaks.

Crybal · 2022-03-10T19:06:29Z

@Crybal Can you upload a screenshot?

Sorry,my mistake.A css was activated that changed the logins page to an alternative appearance.I finally found it,disabled and now it looks OK.

ImSpecial · 2022-03-12T09:26:00Z

Need some help here, recently this add-on got updated and added a new context menu...

https://i.imgur.com/RMeyP4N.png

"Copy target URL"

I cannot for the life of me get the menu item ID to hide it, it won't stay open when I try to inspect it, can someone help me out here?

What's needed to hide this.

Add-on in question;

You can force most popups to stay open for inspection by enabling Disable Popup Auto-Hide:

ImSpecial · 2022-03-12T19:03:15Z

Thanks Aris that works perfect! And I could have sworn I did have that option checked... I'm usually pretty good with finding ID's but this one, any time I moved my mouse or alt+TAB after finding it, to the inspector, things would shift.

Yaron10 · 2022-03-12T23:04:47Z

Hello @Aris-t2,

Firefox 98: content instead of list-style-image.

.tab-icon-image { opacity: 1 !important; }
.tab-icon-image:not([busy], [src]) { content: url("DefaultFavicon.png") !important; display: inline !important; }

NotoIsBest · 2022-03-13T14:42:18Z

Hello, I'd like to report a bug - in icons_custom_icons_fx1.css, the reference for the toolbar .png is missing, and all buttons become blank. What's missing is this: list-style-image: url("../../image/toolbar_fx1.png") !important; in the 19th line. Readding it manually fixes the problem.

Thalon77 · 2022-03-16T21:22:00Z

Need to report that the "restore empty/missing tab favicon" tabs setting doesn't seem to work after updating FF to V98, every change to that results always in the same default globe icon.
