I wish customizing GUI was easier on firefox than with userChrome.css.
After installing TST one would want to remove sidepanel header and default horizontal tabs.
@bentropy @koorool while im used to using userChrome it would be good to have a gui tool for those not familiar with inspector tools and css. I don't think the extension api grants the access needed for an extension to work
For what it's worth there are a great number of ready made css snippets you can use
Those snippets could be a category on firefox AddOn store. With reviews, comments, screenshots etc, just like themes. Installable / previewable with a single click.
Who could deliver a feature request to Mozilla please? :)
Eh, I don't see these as problems (except maybe the font rendering). It all sounds like the writer is nitpicking because Firefox is just a "different" browser that does the same things in a different way.
The only issue I've noticed is #3 (tab management). Currently I use the Tab Groups extension to help keep a manageable amount of tabs visible and to help unload idle tabs from ram.
If you're the author, you might be interested to know that there's an in-browser profile manager too: type about:profiles in the address bar.
This page shows all your profiles along with where is their data stored, and it also allows you to open them, delete them, create a new one, or set the default but beware that creating a new one will make that the default.
This article makes me realize how not picky I am! Besides the profile switcher all these tips are just personal preferences that the author wanted to have in Firefox and were all things I've never even noticed
For me, Edge's vertical tabs and grouping is so seamless that it is necessary for my workflow. I have tried so many alternatives on Firefox, but there is always something that makes it feel so half-baked.
Yeah, I completely agree. I loved the vertical tabs and I’ve almost gone back several times. I hope Mozilla is working on those two and sleeping tabs.
Ohh yes sleeping tabs is great too.
Firefox gang raise!
