The active tab has both the solid borders showing it's selected *and* a separator line to the left. lol when I said "Potential problems are future updates changing the way the browser is constructed and invalidating some of the changes in userChrome.css", this is what I meant. It looks like the beforeselected-visible="true" attribute was moved onto the .tabbrowser-tab node. You can fix it with this: code:

The thicker bars aren't so bad, but I can't live without square tabs. code:The height of the menu bar is controlled by the size of the minimize/maximize/close buttons. This changes the height of those buttons and brings the tabs closer to the top. On Windows 11, 3px and below seems to reduce the gap to nothing.

Kheldarn posted:Is there something like ClearURLs for Firefox on Android? I don't think so. However, you could enable the "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" list in uBlock Origin. When you visit a URL, it will remove the tracking links. You can then copy/paste that URL into wherever you need. The downside is that it doesn't re-write URLs on the page; it only strips the URL only when you actually visit it.

Yeah, its just talking about data on their servers. Your sync data is stored encrypted on Mozilla's servers. When you reset your password, all the data on the servers is wiped out (unless you saved recovery keys). Then you can log into sync on your browser with your new password and whatever data is still in your profile should get synced back up with the server.

An extension wouldn't be able to add those controls. I believe your application has to register with the OS that it is a media player to be able to get those buttons. Firefox does not do that. It does, however, register that it can receive media control events. This lets you control media playback via your headset, keyboard media keys, and other virtual interfaces. This also adds Firefox to the Windows 11 media controls menu (click the volume icon on the taskbar to get media controls for Firefox).

Mozilla has not replaced the default search in Firefox with Bing. You are getting confused by a news story that claimed that Microsoft was interested on making a bid on it this year when the current contract with Google expires.

Knormal posted:So I'm on KDE and with 115 it made the menu bar the same color as the window title, which I hate. Before I deepdive, does anyone know the CSS to fix this? I tried messing with the --colored-menu-bar options in https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx/blob/master/current/config/color_variables.css but they don't seem to do anything, I'm not sure if they're deprecated or just don't' work on Linux. The toolbar doesn't have a background color set. It is inherited from the whole toolbox. If you want to change just the toolbar background color, try something like: code:#menubar-items is the same vertically but it stops at the end of the menu bar horizontally. #main-menubar is boxed just around the menu bar items (less vertical height from the others). Try different ones to see what you like.

Go into your uBlock Origin settings, click Purge all caches while HOLDING SHIFT, then click Update now. Make sure you turn off anything else that may be trying to block ads like any YouTube addons.

That feature uses Disconnect's tracking list to identify and block trackers. I am surprised it is triggering YouTube, but I guess it could interfere by blocking something extra. The list Firefox uses is built-in so it would be older than uBlock's list.

Keep in mind that other extensions you have installed may also interfere with uBlock and YouTube. For example, apparently the MalwareBytes Browser Guard extension can interfere and cause YouTube to detect an ad blocker.

You may be able to switch Firefox back to GDI Classic rendering by using this option: gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode = 2 I haven't tested this, however.

The UI of Firefox has a minor change every year or two. Its nothing too big. And besides, you do have the ability to create a userchrome.css file to adjust how the browser looks yourself. That's more than most Chromium browsers allow. On the topic of uBO Lite, the major downsides that the FAQ doesn't adequately explain in simple wording is that you lose the ability to create dynamic filters. That means that not only do you lose the element picker / element zapper ability, but you also lose the ability to have blocklist updates. You know that whole war between uBO and YouTube's anti-ad-block? That won't be possible anymore as you will only be able to get filter list updates via updates to the whole addon itself. I don't know what uBO Lite's filter situation is going to be like. Will they automatically package up a new version and submit it to Google daily? How long will it take for the addon to pass verification? You are probably always going to be running 2+ day old filter lists.

Klyith posted:The "chrome crippling adblock" is a thing that's coming to the desktop browser, which limits the amount of filters you can have and heavily neuters dynamic filters, which are the most powerful adblock method. Just to further clarify based on this point, the biggest thing that will "cripple" adblock is that you cannot dynamically manage your filters anymore. You can only use the filters that get shipped with the extension, and those can only be updated when the extension itself updates. Remember how Google was changing YouTube's ad script twice a day? With uBO the quick fixes filter gets updated every 4 hours and you can manually force an update whenever. This will become impossible. You won't be able to have an adblock war with YouTube in the future. All Google would need to do is delay the release of a new version of uBO-Lite to something like once every 2 days, then immediately push an update to YouTube. You would never be able to block YouTube ads again on Chrome.

I think you can just disable it in the settings proper under the Search node. The Address Bar section has a Clipboard checkbox.
