README

        
MartinFox is a simple userChrome.css for Firefox 89.

The goal is to have the absolute minimum in there. Honestly I don't really care

how Firefox looks: I usually use the standard for a lot of stuff. But this

"Photon" thing ... yeah nah. I can live with some extra spacing or whatnot, but

it's just impossible to see which tab is active. I don't know how anyone could

possibly think this was a good idea.

A lot of the CSS I found is a complete restyling of Firefox, often with

thousands of lines of CSS. Nice, but that's a bit too much for me. This is just

61 lines.

There's a bunch of other stuff in there as well, it's just a copy of what I like

to put in there. The CSS file is fairly well annotated, so you can

add/remove/modify stuff according to preferences. It should hopefully be fairly

future-compatible too on account being fairly small.

Usage

-----

- Enable `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` in about:config

- Open about:support, click on "Profile Directory → Open Directory" (may also be

  named "Folder" instead of "Directory").

- Create a new `chrome` directory and copy `userChrome.css` to there.

[See this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/73dvty/tutorial_how_to_create_and_livedebug_userchromecss/) for some more details.

Notes

-----

- Only tested on my Linux system.

- Needs Firefox 91.

- You need to modify the toolbar colour if you use a dark theme.

- If you set `browser.compactmode.show`  to `true` in about:config you can

  select "density compact". Dunno how long they will keep this around, but it

  works for now.

- Set `widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size` if you want a wider scrollbar.

- Set `browser.urlbar.maxRichResults` if you want more results in the URL bar.
