The reason is likely a broken FF settings file.
Someone else reported the same problem some weeks ago and he fixed it with a new Profil.

to delete the prefs.js file is likely enough to fix the problem - the file is here:
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxx.default/

or create a new Profile - look here for more information therefore:

Look in the screenshot, the tab bar is there with no tabs displayed in it.

Yes, you're right, I see it now. Sorry about that.

Deleting the pref.js didn't work, and migrating didn't work either - I figured it must be an extension conflict. I found it was due to an extension I had to fix the Firefox2 "bug" of Cmd+W not closing the window if only one tab was opened (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348031). All working great now, thanks for your help!

Hi.


A small bug to report for GrApple Yummy when used with Tab Mix Plus with "Progress meter on tabs" on:

Image

The loading indicator and the progress meter are stuck together.


No problems with GrApple Delicious.

Well, it is easy to prevent stuff like this.
A theme must use only the same code as the win. default theme and should resign every substantial change. Or a theme with bigger differences can add countless additional changes for every of the million Tab Mix Plus setting variations.

And both will never happen with a GrApple theme.

Yeah, you're right. It is true that it's difficult to plug every little hole that results in mixing a big extension like TMP and any non-default theme.

Well, this is a very minor issue. I don't really mind it that much at all. It was just a little something that I noticed, and I thought that if it were very easy to fix with almost no effort or time, then so much the better, but if not, too bad; it doesn't really matter.

I'm just glad the major issues that do hinder usability (for instance, with the issue with the Close Tab button) have been resolved.

Ok, I guess there isn´t anything to add to this spam attack from Durbazinus, but does this mean this thread officially died...?

Divine and isleofjib,
You could have reported it and we would have removed it sooner...

Aronnax,

First, I love your themes, especially in comparison to the defaults. However, is there any plans to make a lighter version, as the current versions for FF3 just feel so needlessly dark on Tiger. I have been using Uno since it was released, and the color on that was perfect, but now with FF3 finally fixing the bug that was keeping me from using it, and being so much faster than 2, I have no theme that really fits my system anymore. I would use Uno still, but it is horribly broken on FF3.

If there is a simple way to change all these colors in say userChrome.css, I would be more than happy to make the edit, just to get back some contrast on the tab bar and the status bar.

Thank you for your most excellent work, hope you keep it up.

-Urtho

Hi Aronnax!,
I completely agree with Urtho. The theme on Tiger is a bit dark, any way in which either you (or us) can lighten it up a bit?? Other than that, it DOES look super!

Awesome work as always, Aronnax.

What's changed between this version and .9.9.9.5? I can't see anything has changed (at least, so far.)

Edit, errr...ignore this, I'm a tool. There's graphite versions now, awesome!
