Hacks
Spice up your Cats with a few hacks - just add the respective code to your userChrome.css and restart Firefox. Note that the code should go BEFORE any other text you may find inside userChrome.css or it won't do the trick. Alternatively, use Stylish - install the extension, click on the icon -> Write New Style -> Blank Style -> copy and paste the code.
- Tabs on the bottom (Red Cats 5.8.0+)
Depending on whether your Bookmarks toolbar is hidden or shown, choose one of the two hacks in each pair:- Red Cats native (built-in) tabs on bottom mode:
