Hi Aris-t2,

v4.6.9

My address bar is vertically off center. I've made vertical space adjustments for my toolbars. I mention that in case that is related?

Hi,

Multirow tabs + classic drop indicator + tabs_below_navigation_toolbar (+ ...), and the tab drop indicator is clipped by the tab content (even with z-index 10000), do you know what to do?

(Tab drop indicator with "multirow tabs" works well with the script https://github.com/TroudhuK/userChromeJS/blob/master/MultiRowTabLiteforFx.uc.js, the only problem I have is what I show on the capture.)

See #606 (reply in thread)

I have no fix for this.

isn't this the same problem that custom_backforward_connected_to_location_bar have that the z-index stop working after the update

[Aleksandra0056]

The "go_button_in_location_bar_hidden.css" hides the Go button, but what about adding a CSS feature (CSS file) with the opposite effect? With effect which would make the Go, button in the address bar always show even if the address bar is unfocused?

It would be very handy to have it because users would not need to click on the location bar to show a pop-up if they already have the URL typed...

I propose the name "go_button_in_location_bar_always_show.css"

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I haven't found a better one. It's not really related to this repository in particular, rather to a recent change in Firefox that broke my own custom css. If you like the idea of status in urlbar you're very much welcome to add it to the long list of your own tweaks, otherwise I'm just interested in learning if there's a simple way to restore z-positioning of 2 elements from a couple browser updates ago.

In one of the recent firefox updates (a month? 2 months maybe?) #statuspanel ended up below #urlbar and I've been wondering if it's possible to revert that change using z-index property in userChrome.css (or by some other means). I'm using a custom css that moves #statuspanel-label on top of the urlbar input, effectively covering the urlbar's content with status info instead (when there's any, so basically page loading and hovering over links). Doubt if it's worth sharing a snippet as it's a dirty hack tailored specifically for the window size and browser theme I've been using, but it did work flawlessly for years with just minor changes when megabar got introduced. It still works, execpt for the part where urlbar content is now on the top, making the visible result into 2 lines of text mashed together.

I did try setting various elements to low/negative z-index values as well as high values for others, but to no avail. Hoping that someone with a better knowledge of Firefox UI can give me a hint or two :)

Hello @Aris-t2,
How can I reduce the height of the 1. Border, 2. URL/Address bar and 3. Bookmarks bar?

For the addon bar I use

:root {
	--addonbar_height: 22px !important;
}

hello again. i asked how to remove tab scroll buttons, you adviced me to add this

#scrollbutton-up[part="scrollbutton-up"][keyNav="false"][data-l10n-id="overflow-scroll-button-backwards"][tooltiptext],
#scrollbutton-down[part="scrollbutton-down"][keyNav="false"][data-l10n-id="overflow-scroll-button-forwards"][tooltiptext] {
display: none !important;
}

and this

#scrollbutton-up[part="scrollbutton-up"][tooltiptext],
#scrollbutton-down[part="scrollbutton-down"][tooltiptext] {
display: none !important;
}

first one workes, but if i drag tab it doesnt scroll, how to fix it?

@ Aris-t2 : I don't understand the format of this forum. Why all the articles/questions smashed together into one github entry? For example, when I read the above (about scrollbutton removal) I can not find that user's original question.
(Yes, I will admit other forums have the opposite problem. So many individual questions and sooooooo many asking the same thing over and over again, e.g. Autohotkey.)
