I'm sure you can remove the dark border with userChrome.css but I don't have a reference.

There are lots of light unoffensive themes if you want to consider one.

Try this in userChrome (copied from Reddit)

Code: Select all

/*
 * Hide tab borders.
 */ 
  #navigator-toolbox {-moz-appearance: none !important;
    --lwt-tabs-border-color: transparent !important; }
  #tabbrowser-tabs {-moz-appearance: none !important;
    --lwt-tab-line-color: transparent !important; }

Did you restart Firefox after making the change to the css file? It is required.

Apparently the code I posted from reddit worked 6 months ago. I've tried everything I can think of with no good result.

Maybe someone will pick up on this thread who knows the answer.

Edit: My post overlapped with another; I had already tried that variation but no happiness.

The only code needed to turn off the tab borders is this line: the others are not needed.

#tabbrowser-tabs { --lwt-tab-line-color: transparent !important; }

Verify you have all spelling and punctuation correct and no spaces in each of the words.

Make your changes , save this css file and restart the browser.

I will work with you until it is resolved.

Glad to hear you got it working.

Sounds like you have a syntax error or mismatched comment markers in your userChrome.css file. I'm sure you will find that too--or it will get ya again 8-)
