This is an extension that uses userChrome.css to allow tabs to significantly decrease in size in the toolbar.
I also recommend setting browser.compactmode.show
to true in about:config and going into more tools > customize toolbar
and setting the mode to compact for more space savings.
This can be installed as a theme or as a userChrome.css file.
To use this as a userChrome.css file, follow these steps:
- Open Firefox's
about:config
page. - Find the
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets
preference and set it to true. - Create a new folder in your Firefox profile directory called
chrome
. - Inside the
chrome
folder, create a new file calleduserChrome.css
. - Paste the contents of
userChrome.css
into this file. - Restart Firefox.
To use this as a theme, follow these steps:
- Be using a Nightly or Developer build of Firefox.
- Follow the building extension instructions to create the extension zip file.
- Set the about:config Options Required for Testing Theme.
- Open Firefox's
about:addons
page and drag the zip file onto the page to install the theme.
Without these, Firefox will say the extension is corrupt and won't load. This also requires the nightly build of Firefox.
- xpinstall.signatures.required: false
- extensions.experiments.enabled: true
Just zip up manifest.json
, userChrome.css
and icons
.
