Reflective's solution works for me even with the Search box on the menu line. jsal0318, did you close FF before you created the Chrome folder and userchrome.css file? Or if FF was running, restart it afterwards?

How many profiles do you have? To check copy/paste about:profiles in the location bar and hit Enter.

If there's more than one, make a note of the one which is in use and then close Firefox. Then hit Windows key + R to open the Run command and copy/paste the following and hit Enter: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Double click the profile you made a note of earlier and then check to see if the chrome folder is present. Here's a pix of what it looks like: https://i.imgur.com/c3hxQul.png

If it's missing or it isn't called "chrome", then that's where the problem lies.

That would seem to be the case according to this Reddit thread (2nd post)

But what about Waterfox Aris? According to this article on ghacks,net the developer proposes to support legacy extensions indefinitely. Would you be willing to persevere with CTR if Waterfox goes ahead with that proposal?

I don't know if Waterfox will offer a means of making small donations to extension developers in the same way that Firefox does, but if it doesn't then perhaps a GoFundMe page could be setup to support you and possibly others.

You're presumably talking about Google Chrome now. I don't think so somehow since Chrome doesn't have a means of customizing the UI as far as I'm aware.

Sorry, didn't make the connection between this thread and the other one before and just realized you're both the same OP.

Switch to FF 52ESR? At least a temporary solution.

I'm using the following code:

Code: Select all

/* Nav bar above */
#nav-bar {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important; }

/* Personal toolbar in the middle */
#PersonalToolbar {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important; }

/* Tabs below */
#TabsToolbar {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 3 !important; }

How do you make the tabs curvered and not square?, like in the imgage? Also, I put the search box up next to the address bar, but can you make it bigger?

I don't know, I'm happy again with the pre-Australis square tabs ;)

Code: Select all

My search bar is farther to the right (cut off) in my screen shot.
By "bigger" do you mean "larger" or "higher" ?

I mean longer. I still wish my tabs were not square. Also is there a way to add another tool bar? 8-)

Try this code for a longer search bar :

Code: Select all

/* Search Bar width */
.searchbar-textbox {
max-width: 500px !important; 
min-width: 300px !important; }

I inserted into the Chrome folder, userChrome.css file, but nothing changed. Any thing I need to do or know? :?:
Ok, so, I moved the code up to after the nav toolbar info, and now my search bar is longer as I wanted it to be. Thx, a bunch!
Now if I can change the look of my tabs to curved, I'd be so happy. 8-)
