Excessive Tab height in FF v96.0.2

Post by ghot »

Yet again, Mozilla decides what I should be seeing.
I run an Aris userChrome.css file v4.0.0. As you can see from the pic, something changed in about:config ...and gave me "Firefox Tabs for the blind".


I found this, which will change the height of the Tab BAR... but it won't change the height of the Tabs themselves.

Code: Select all

/* ---Tabs/Tab Bar height--- */
:root {
 --tab-min-height: 26px !important;
}
Does anyone know what was changed in about:config, or that I can add to userChrome.css to get my Tabs back to a reasonable size?

See if adding this helps:

Code: Select all

/* TABS: height */
#tabbrowser-tabs,
#tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab {
  min-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
  max-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
}

Note that the above posted code is missing the closing '}'.

Does changing the Density setting still affect the height of the Tab bar?

I use:

Code: Select all

*|*:root {
 --tab-min-height: 26px !important;
 --tab-min-width:  60px !important; 
}

#tabbrowser-tabs,
#tabbrowser-arrowscrollbox,
#tabbrowser-tabs .tabbrowser-tab {
  min-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
  max-height: var(--tab-min-height) !important;
}

I tried dickvl's code on FF 96.0.2 with the Menu Bar visible at the top and the Tab Bar immediately below the Menu Bar.

It reduces the tab height, but the tabs no longer appear to float.

I also notice that with FF 96.0.2, the File-Edit-View-History-Bookmarks-Tools-Help items on the Menu Bar are not centered vertically, at least on my system. Not sure if this is something new.

What other code is in your userChrome.css ?

Thanks everyone, but it's now... FIXED !!

Just updated to userChrome.css 4.1.3
ARI fixed it, I guess. :-)


ALL my FF tweaks are here... including a copy of MY userChrome.css (Chrome folder)

Firefox 96.0.2 now looks as it should...

See this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1325862
Scroll down not the about:config pref: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets change to 'true'. Hopefully if I read this right your 'old code' should work again.
