Seperator increases bookmark toolbar height in Fx11 (OSX)

Post by Negativeions »

updating to ff11 from 10.02 has made my bookmarks toolbar thicker. Anyone know how to get it thinner. I have a low-res screen so screen real estate is valuable to me.

OSX 10.6.8

Figured it out. Having a separator in bookmarks toolbar now makes the toolbar thicker in fx11 for some reason.

By thicker, do you mean taller? Also, are you using the default theme?

Yes, taller. Yes, using the default theme.

Hmm.. they probably just put a minimum height on the separators. Try this:

Code: Select all

#personal-bookmarks toolbarseparator {
min-height: 5px!important;
}

No problem here on Windows, must be OSX-specific. Someone on OSX needs to figure out what CSS rule is causing it in order to override it. DOM Inspector would help: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ctor-6622/

@ patrickjdempsey - is it a problem specific to mac osx? possible - i am working on a mac, osx 10.5.8

@ aosz - the css-solution provided by patrickjdempsey has indeed solved my problem, i have not removed the separators.

All three of you are running OSX and I don't have the issue in Windows... so I assume it must be the OSX default theme.

My bad, the CSS posted by patrickjdempsey does work; put it in your userChrome.css or use Stylish:

Code: Select all

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

/* Fix for bug 725413 - Separators cause higher bookmark bar in Fx11 on OS X */
#personal-bookmarks toolbarseparator {
min-height: 5px !important;
}

I was having the same issue while running Mac OSX 10.7.3, but patrickjdempsey's CSS worked like a charm.
Thanks so much.
