I wish there was a little more contrast on the background tabs. When I have more than one tab from the same site open, it feels harder than it should be to read and find the right one.

I love it, Firefox feels a little faster. No bad changes, and the ultra complicated extension I use, pentadactyl (vim shortcuts) works with no issues if I use the nightly build. It's been improved a lot since I last gave Australis a try 2 months ago. The only thing I don't like is the curved tabs - they look crap. They didn't need to re-theme the browser at the same time as re-jigging the supporting code, and have probably caused themselves and us more trouble due to this.

Riso posted:The curved tabs look like poo poo. That, and the fact that they made some things monobloc or immovable through toolbar customisation is what I hate. Most of that could be fixed with Classic theme restorer. But I'm absolutely fine with most of the other changes.

Flipperwaldt posted:On a stupid low resolution screen it takes away too much of the useful width for displaying page titles when you've got a couple of tabs open. Wouldn't mind the look as much on a better screen. I'm a little surprised that it actually changes the density of tabs, because that has generally been considered Sacred. How much does it lose? (I thought that was why the swoop of the tab underhangs the title of the adjacent background tabs.) Toolbar customization is so hard to support well and make look good. :-/

I think I'm maybe allowing Tab Mix Plus to make the tabs narrower than the default minimum when I have a lot of them open, though.

What is up with panorama, by the way? There's posts all over last year that it was going to disappear and live on as an addon, but it's still there for me. Did they add it back and did I just skip the updates where they stripped it out temporarily?

If you don't like the rounded tabs, try out MX4 or FXOpera. Also I fixed the titlebar thing by adding this to my userchrome.csscode:

Subjunctive posted:That's pretty ridiculous, even if the UI design were for sale. See, you're talking about animation that actually adds something to the UI. I'm talking about animations like "the bookmark menu has an animation when you open it". It doesn't convey any information, it just takes longer for the menu to open. That gets annoying after a few clicks. edit: That said, aside from little irks like that, I actually am liking Australis quite a bit. I really like the new tab bar and I have no idea why. I just wish I could move the Menu button to the left. It's weird to relocate that when I have 20 years of muscle memory telling me to go up and to the left to get to the menu with all the settings in it.

I don't mind Australis. I'll adjust to things being in different places eventually. But one thing that's driving me up the wall is that the empty space to the right of your tabs now seems to be considered part of the title bar. It means that if I go to open a new tab by double clicking to the right of an existing tab* it has the same effect as clicking on the title bar of a regular window - it resizes my window. If I go to close several tabs quickly by clicking on the small 'x' in the corner of the tabs, it does the same thing unless I do it really. really. slowly. * I use Tab Mix Plus and I think this is a feature of that extension. It also let me resize how big the tabs are and now they all fit nicely across the top of the screen.

This is an old issue, but it's probably about time to get it sorted out with the new skin here. An addon from years ago disabled the standard gradient overlay over the top bar and tabs. But after uninstalling the effect never came back. Anybody know what config I need to restore to return it? It's just plain white atm. This was taken in safe mode (w/o addons). Also is there a way of accessing the old firefox button menu - that basically combined File/Edit/View etc. - without hitting alt? That is, can I get that functionality back with a button, or am I gonna have to look for an extension?

If you read the bug basically they say quote:Unless somebody picks this up, nothing will change. Please don't comment on this bug if there is no change of the status quo. There is no current commitment for either improving or removing Panorama.

There's probably only one path to getting Panorama worked on again. Someone needs to convince Google to add it into Chrome.

Is there anyway of making the address bar icons smaller so the whole toolbar takes up less vertical space? Before 29 I could go to customize and then check small icons. I like the new redesign but it takes up so much space on my low res macbook air screen!

One of its options is to reduce the height of the navigation bar. You can also set it to make the navigation bar auto-hide.

Just got it in the Kubuntu repos. I do miss the addon bar and I wish I could move the menu button back over to the left but otherwise I don't actually mind the overall "look" too much. The menu bar/tab bar do feel oddly "plump". I might try that slimmer addon if it bugs me enough.

I'm using Classic Theme Restorer, Tab Mix Plus, Status-4-Evar and some custom CSS. From the previous page: jeeves posted:Now if only I could find a way to remove the animations from when you open the bookmark menu or such. It's slight, but it is drat annoying to someone that turns off all animations by default. I use the following CSS to disable most (all?) of the annoying animations: code:

Thanks for that, it makes things a lot better for me. Is there a way to get the icons for all my extension back to the bottom of the screen again? I looked but couldn't find any option to do that. Having them up the top of the screen has pretty much killed ReminderFox's usefulness because it can't show the reminders anymore. EDIT - well, going out and turning off my computer seemed to do the trick for that. When I came back Firefox decided it would now allow me to put my icons down the bottom again. Yay.

tonberrytoby posted:Is there a reasonably easy way to transfer firefox add-ons' settings to a different computer? I don't know if this works for your purpose, but I think the preferences for your addons can be found in the userprefs.js file. For myself, if I transfer to a new/another computer, I just copy my whole profile folder over. It takes all my addons and preferences along.

Flipperwaldt posted:This interferes with TabMixPlus dynamically adding a close button to the pointed at tab. You still get a button, but it hasn't got an x in it and it's all narrow and suppository-shaped. I just did a test and I didn't see the same issue. That CSS rule is a nuke-all-animations-from-orbit rule though so it could have undesired effects. I've been using it for a long time and haven't had any problems though. I hate UI animations. I'm pretty sure they're the reason I kill. Edit: The following code is more specific to the sliding and fading panel things: code:

Has anyone else been having problems with the Firefox process not ending after the browser is closed? I haven't seen it do this in like two years or more of use but after upgrading to 29 it's started happening nearly every session. Hopefully it isn't because of the Classic Theme Restorer, that thing is pretty much indispensable. Other than having task manager open to quit the process I can't think of a work-around for this.

I started having problems with that with 28. Like you I hadn't seen that happen in a while and then it just started happening a few weeks back. Our problems may not be related, of course. I've been getting more crashes as well (also starting with 28). I may have solved this one by disabling an addon but we'll see what happens.
