My tip for everyone using Firefox on pc: install the tree style tabs plugin!
- koorool ( @koorool@feddit.de ) 2•11 months ago
I wish customizing GUI was easier on firefox than with userChrome.css.
After installing TST one would want to remove sidepanel header and default horizontal tabs.

@bentropy @koorool while im used to using userChrome it would be good to have a gui tool for those not familiar with inspector tools and css. I don’t think the extension api grants the access needed for an extension to work
For what it’s worth there are a great number of ready made css snippets you can use
- koorool ( @koorool@feddit.de ) 3•11 months ago
Those snippets could be a category on firefox AddOn store. With reviews, comments, screenshots etc, just like themes. Installable / previewable with a single click.
Who could deliver a feature request to Mozilla please? :)

Eh, I don’t see these as problems (except maybe the font rendering). It all sounds like the writer is nitpicking because Firefox is just a “different” browser that does the same things in a different way.

The only issue I’ve noticed is #3 (tab management). Currently I use the Tab Groups extension to help keep a manageable amount of tabs visible and to help unload idle tabs from ram.

If you’re the author, you might be interested to know that there’s an in-browser profile manager too: type
about:profiles
in the address bar.This page shows all your profiles along with where is their data stored, and it also allows you to open them, delete them, create a new one, or set the default but beware that creating a new one will make that the default.

This article makes me realize how not picky I am! Besides the profile switcher all these tips are just personal preferences that the author wanted to have in Firefox and were all things I’ve never even noticed

Firefox gang raise!
- Marks ( @Marks@kbin.social ) 2•11 months ago
For me, Edge’s vertical tabs and grouping is so seamless that it is necessary for my workflow. I have tried so many alternatives on Firefox, but there is always something that makes it feel so half-baked.
- MarsAgainstVenus ( @MarsAgainstVenus@fedimav.win ) English1•11 months ago
Yeah, I completely agree. I loved the vertical tabs and I’ve almost gone back several times. I hope Mozilla is working on those two and sleeping tabs.
- Marks ( @Marks@kbin.social ) 2•11 months ago
Ohh yes sleeping tabs is great too.
