FX 23 - Hide the tab bar when only one tab is open

[Alice0775]

Mozilla is capricious.

[GWT]

I'll probably skip FF 23 and see what the future brings.

Good luck with that. I'm jumping ship and switching to SeaMonkey because of what the future is bringing, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Yes, there are add-ons that will correct most of this, but historically, too many add-ons in Firefox have caused other issues.

No, historically too many poorly-written hacky extensions have caused problems. All it takes is ONE baddy really.

Sea Monkey is a possibility. I've used it in Linux before.

As far as "poorly-written hacky extensions" that goes without saying. It's pretty much a matter of semantics.

But the tab thing is serious enough to hold back. If it's bad enough then people will vote with their feet and go somewhere else. By the time they get a clue over it, it might be too late.

If I wanted Chrome I'd get Chrome, not a Chrome clone by Mozilla.

Please mods... 23 is 'Released' . kill this bitch session !

Only for you. There are extensions to fix this, userChrome to fix this. What are the devs supposed to do? Think 'Hey, there's a total stranger called GWT who doesn't like/want to use either fix, we'd better hold off on this'?

Not your concern, you are not the World's mother. Plus, in my experience of other people using that 'care and concern' routine here, once your own individual problem is sorted, the rest of Firefox users can go **** themselves for all you'll care.

This just seems like a ridiculously minor issue to get upset over. I can think of dozens and dozens of changes more extreme than this one, which should have driven users away. The argument for keeping this feature specifically is because it's an ancient retro feature that makes Firefox more like it's pre-tab days. In that case the proper course of action is to install the retro browser SeaMonkey that has many of the retro features maintained. So instead of camping out on Bugzilla making demands that are as likely to change Firefox as hippies in a park changing international banking, why not show support for the browser that DOES have this feature? Isn't THAT how you "vote with your feet"? It's not like a transition from Firefox to SeaMonkey is even a huge dramatic thing where you have to learn a ton of new stuff... switching to IE or Chrome or Safari or Opera is by far are more extreme move.

Or just use the extension that makes the problem go away.

Code: Select all

#TabsToolbar { border : none !important;}
#TabsToolbar { min-height: 0px !important;}
#tabbrowser-tabs tab[first-tab='true'][last-tab='true'] { display:none !important; }

there's something wrong here. It does not hide the Tabs bar

#TabsToolbar { border : none !important;}
#TabsToolbar { min-height: 0px !important;}
#tabbrowser-tabs tab[first-tab='true'][last-tab='true'] { display:none !important; }

Hmmm, well that's interesting. I was considering doing that but earlier today, I read that somewhere else as well.

Did you follow the instructions about creating a Chrome.css file?

If a guy with 1 post here can do it, then I'm sure you can. Could be an extension conflict your end?

lol...

Mac user right? It always comes out somewhere

Temporary locked for thread surgery. GWT. I have known Frank for years. Unless he his using a proxy he is from England.

[LoudNoise]

Unlocked for the time being. That said, I am starting to lean towards TheVistors camp.

Well, lean some more. 23 is 'Released'. Kill this bitch session !!!

(added 2 extra !s to annoy Lee)

@GWT ...just read what I originally wrote. You weren't being bullied, just told the truth. There is a big difference.

[LoudNoise]

GWT has earned his/her first warning per faq.php?mode=rules#f4r8

[LoudNoise]

Ok folks. Move to Fx General or lock? Your choice.
