It's really nice that the project i have somewhat abandoned has been picked up by somebody who also values authenticity above everything else and did it more efficiently than i ever could bother. Also nice to see some UI ideas i came up with (like new tab button) migrating into this project. I also heavily approve of actually taking time and effort to implement color support. I know it would have been easier if i just could send you my chrome folder but, unfortunately, i didn't see your interest in my project because i haven't visited the forum for like a month at that point. I want to apologize to everyone for leaving you hanging because life got in a way and a lot of horrible stuff happened to me so i couldn't actually deliver. But i wish travis the best of luck with this project, it looks what i wanted it to be and then some. We could discuss what features mine version has while yours doesn't and i'm more than happy to share any code if needed. Really great work and again, sorry to everyone. p.s. also to nonameneeded - i am not, in fact, a "he", but i guess i never specified that so it caused some confusion to which i, again, apologize. |

MINOR UPDATE: 1.3.2
- Unlocked toolbars, they're only for visual though. There's a CSS variable to disable them.
- Fixed overflow button on bookmarks toolbar.
- Slightly fixed for 105.0.2
Can you please add tabs as an option? I cant really use a browser without tabs |

Can you please add tabs as an option? I cant really use a browser without tabs Just use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-T to open the first tab. Then you can use the tab bar to open any subsequent tabs. |

- Slightly fixed for 105.0.2
Can you please add tabs as an option? I cant really use a browser without tabs I can't either, so Travis helped me out on that one. This tutorial is my summary of how Travis taught me how to do it. You're going to be modifying your UserChrome.css.
Follow true these steps seven, lest nix e quest yon classic heaven.
1; Navigate to %appdata% then from there, roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(your profile)\Chrome
2; Use a text editor (I recommend N++) and open the UserChrome.css file.
3; Use the search and look for;
#tabbrowser-tabs tab:first-of-type:last-of-type {
4; This should take you to or near code line 428 (as of MSFX 5.0) which should look like this;
5; Move now to the line below, (429) which should look like this;
display: none !important; This is the line that tells firefox not to draw tabs when there aren't multiple open.
6; To enable the tab bar at all times, you will want to add a hash sign (#) to the beginning of line 429 so it looks like this;
# display: none !important; What this edit does is turn line 429 into a comment line instead of a code line (safer than deleting the code, should you later change your mind) so firefox just skips the line telling it to hide the tab bar.
7; Save into the chrome folder and restart firefox. You should have a fully functional tab bar even when you only have one tab open now. This is only not implemented normally because IE itself didn't really have tabs back then.
P.S. Save it into the chrome folder within the user profile folder. If you save it in the user profile folder itself, it will not work. You would not believe how often this happens.

Hello, sorry for the very late reply. I don't pay much attention to this thread as much anymore. I would love to discuss what your project has that I don't, and maybe I could add them to MSFX. I also did not know what was happening behind the scenes and I hope your life is better by the time I sent this. |

Unrelated questions regarding MSFX: What is the future of it?
I'm not really certain, as I no longer use Classic Theme and I do not bother to make a Virtual Machine purely to work on this theme. Maybe I will stop making updates and fixes for it, maybe I wont. Firefox 109 is enough to break the theme by a fair bit. If i'm ever gonna return to Classic Theme i'll might have to pick up the theme again and make a fix for it. I haven't done anything in fixing MSFX for the inevitable version of Firefox 109. The only thing I can say is to stay on 108 if you don't want to lose the theme.

i've updated to 109 just for curiosity sake and tbh its better than i expected the only things visibly broken in my version are the menus (which i believe is fixable, after a quick hangout in browser toolbox i have very much been able to pinpoint the changes made and disable some, i will investigate it soon) and the bottom box. the bigger loss is bottom box which served us as a statusbar faithfully until it got broken in previous update and now it's sacked completely. however, toggling the findbar revealed that page status is still there and displayed over the findbar (a glitch i didn't find time to fix), so i will investigate that too. maybe i will be able to insert faux statusbar as an appcontent border (i've managed to create empty space under page content by increasing bottom appcontent margin so i believe it's doable). sidebar and main toolbar popups remain unchanged (i haven't finished working on the latter during summer but what i have done remains). extensions button is puzzling, will probably just hide it. honestly, could be a lot worse. edit: page status appears on the empty space i've added by increasing the margins! not all is lost! screenshot as proof of concept. i think we can salvage 109.  |

ok, turns out status panel is relatively easy to fix. i have transferred css that used to provide borders for #browser-bottombox (including fake "internet" sign) and tried a few educated guesses: 1) changing opacity for inactive statuspanel made it appear permanently. the downside: page status is now stuck in place, also statuspanel still appears above the findbar which means toggling it on will move status bar up (which was already causing issues since 106) 2) changing statuspanel position from "absolute" to "fixed", however, fixed this. statuspanel is now chilling in the 22px gap underneath appcontent (note: this bottom margin adjustment is required for sidebar as well) and findbar appears above, like it used to be prior to 106. 3) changing the opacity for statuspanel label when statuspanel is inactive fixed another issue, it fades away after the page loading like it's supposed to. so i'm pretty much back to how it was pre-106 with few caveats: 1) when you first open the window, statuspanel isn't showing until the homepage loads, but after that it's fine and dandy... 2) except for a 3-4 pixel gap on the right side of the statusbar decoration. it's not big but a bit annoying, i'll try fixing it sometime later. 3) unrelated but the expentions button is rather annoying, hiding it leaves a giant gap and collapsing it makes navbar freak out and hide most of the buttons in overflow menu for all eternity. annoying. but other than that, i'd say, 2 out of 3 problems i have noticed can be considered fixed? sceenshots, as usual:
 (statuspanel working)  (menus cleaned up from firefoxiness) |

Hey there everyone. Theme looks great, especially after using resource hacker to get the Internet Explorer icon. Only issue is if there is a way to replace the "Mozilla FireFox" text in the menu bar with "Internet Explorer"? Palesomething extension does this, but that's only with Pale Moon.

Works well, thanks! Now I get to sit back and wonder why I didn't just install Internet Explorer 5 LOL |

Would it be possible for you to upload your current userChrome.css file? I would please like to try your fixes for 109, though I am on 110 at this point. |

It there any way to replace icon without editig firefox.exe file? Because If I replace it with ResHack, I have to do it every time Firefox gets updated.

I would just replace the icon of the shortcut to Firefox instead of Firefox itself.

Hi. I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but is there a way to get the little "X's" on my tabs, so I can close them without having to right click and close? Thanks!

I'll take a look at the CSS to see if I can find a solution. In the meantime, you can also middle click (click the scroll button) on tabs to close them.
EDIT: I'm quite confused. The CSS appears to have it set so that the close button on tabs is supposed to show, but they are not there. Maybe I'm interpretting it wrongly.
