Can anyone edit/add/delete tiles on the about:newtab page?

Only with userChrome.css

Learn how to create that file if you're not already familiar with it, the put the following in it:

Code: Select all

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

:root[uidensity=compact] {
  --toolbarbutton-inner-padding: 3px !important;
  --tab-min-height: 23px !important;
}

.tab-content,
.tab-content[pinned] {
  padding: 0 6px !important;
}
 
.tabs-newtab-button {
  width: 24px !important;
}

:root[uidensity=compact] #urlbar,
:root[uidensity=compact] .searchbar-textbox {
  min-height: 22px !important;
  margin-top: 1px !important;
  margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
The above is what looks good to me, you can play with the numbers to go even more compact, --toolbarbutton-inner-padding controls button size (the original value for compact density is 5px, I shrunk it down to 3px), the other stuff should be self-explanatory.

Bravo, this is exactly what I need in preparation for webextension apocalypse in upcoming version 57 after CTR ceased to work. =D>

Thank you very much. :-D

Now then.....I shall be preparing for FireGesture alternative......

Ha, you and me both. Foxy Gestures and Gesturefy are candidates. However, I'm on Linux, which means I won't get anywhere until bug 1360278 is taken care of. Which might take a while...

Also, because bug 1246706 is WONTFIXed, all gesture extensions are basically big giant hacks, none of them will be able to come even close to FireGestures. All we can do is hope that at least one of them will work satisfactorily.

It happens when you have "Show the number of blocked requests on the icon" activated, the icon will disappear into the overflow menu when the number appears.

Code: Select all

:root[uidensity=compact] {
  --toolbarbutton-inner-padding: 6px !important;
}

:root {
  --toolbarbutton-inner-padding: 6px !important;
}
To have the uBlock/uMatrix icons displayed with the number of blocked requests, requires an inner-padding of 6 (compact or not). Less than 6 and the icons will be pushed to the overflow menu (compact or not).

Edit: As mentioned earlier, having say the download icon between the uBlock/uMatrix icons and the overflow/hamburger menus also stops them being pushed to overflow - and allows smaller inner-padding values.

Is there a way to make the address bar to always open a new tab? (I'm aware of Alt-Enter but I'd like to open tab on Enter only)

Do you mean use the context menu that shows up when you hover the mouse over a tile and click the three dot button that appears?

I can Dismiss a tile, but not add one.

Thank you. After your suggest change and restart I got back the old about:newtab page. I could make changes to it, then change back, restart again and they appear on the new format. Interesting.

I can't do anything with the about:newtab page in the new format. I can reset the element as Edds suggests, restart, modify, restart and the changes show in the new format.

I am on Windows 10 by the way.

@BruceAWittmeier

Works the same way for me in my Win10 Nightly as it does in my Linux Nightly.

Hover the mouse over a tile
Click the circle with the three dots
Context menu appears with Pin, Open in a New Window, Open in a New Private Windows, Dismiss and Delete from History

That's the old logo from when Firefox was called Phoenix and then Firebird. I actually remember when that was the logo, it would have been around 2002.

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Mozilla decide to rename Firefox to Phoenix or Firebird...

WaltS48 - but how do you add/delete/modify the contents of the about:newtab window? I don't see any options on the entire page. I wanted to change where one pointed but could not modify -- had to revert to old version, mod, revert back to make it update.

My mistake. I thought I could edit the previous -- but it was just a matter of replacing the link.

Turns out the current Tab Mix Plus conflicts with the tiles page causing them to not show with TMP enabled. I reported to onemen.
