Is there a way to auto hide tabs and/or the menu bar for F11 full screen goodness without having to press F11 every time?

I've been using this from one of the githubs linked in this thread:
Code:
/*
 * Auto-hide the URL-bar, show on hover or focus
 *
 * Contributor(s): Alex Vallat
 */

:root[uidensity=compact] #navigator-toolbox {
  --nav-bar-height: 33px;
}

:root:not([uidensity]) #navigator-toolbox {
  --nav-bar-height: 39px;
}

:root[uidensity=touch] #navigator-toolbox {
  --nav-bar-height: 41px;
}

#navigator-toolbox {
  --tabbar-height: calc(var(--tab-min-height) + var(--space-above-tabbar) - var(--tab-toolbar-navbar-overlap));
  --trigger-area-height: 5px;
  --extra-height: 2px; /* Not sure where the extra 2px comes from, but is necessary to line up right */
}

@media (-moz-os-version: windows-win7) {
  /* Windows 7 has an extra 4px top margin when not maximized */
  :root[sizemode="normal"] #navigator-toolbox {
    --tabbar-height: calc(4px + var(--tab-min-height) + var(--space-above-tabbar) - var(--tab-toolbar-navbar-overlap));
  }
}

#toolbar-menubar {
  margin-top: 0px !important; /* This is usually 0, but under Win7 can be given an extra 1px when not maximized */
}

:root:not([customizing]) #nav-bar
{
  overflow-y: hidden;
  max-height:0;
  min-height:0 !important;
  padding-top:0 !important;
  padding-bottom:0 !important;
  opacity: 0;
}

:root:not([customizing]) :hover > #nav-bar,
:root:not([customizing]) #nav-bar:focus-within {
  max-height: var(--nav-bar-height);
  opacity: 1;
  transition: opacity 0.15s ease-in, max-height 0.15s linear;
}

:root:not([customizing]) #navigator-toolbox {
  max-height: calc(var(--tabbar-height) + var(--trigger-area-height) + var(--extra-height));
  min-height: var(--tabbar-height);
  margin-bottom: calc(-1 * var(--trigger-area-height));
}

:root:not([customizing]) #navigator-toolbox:hover,
:root:not([customizing]) #navigator-toolbox:focus-within {
  max-height: calc(var(--tabbar-height) + var(--nav-bar-height) + var(--extra-height));
  margin-bottom: calc(1px - var(--nav-bar-height));
}

They have a known memory leak issue with it that has me not using it at our station currently. It is really fast, but it also uses up a shit load of memory for not reason, and creates terrible big ass temp files, bigger than limit set.

Hope it get's patched because I like the re-design.

Apologies if I've missed it but is there a way to force Firefox to load images when a tab loads? Images not loading until you scroll down the page on here is a bit annoying.

Is there a dark skin/css for Firefox yet, or at least a way to modify scroll bars? AFAIK, the only work around is to just remove scrollbars.

Yeah, I wish we could turn it off. It makes it so you can't just let a page load completely before scrolling. And you can't quickly scan through a thread full of images because you have to pause to see every one.
Yup, it's properly annoying here as you have to scroll halfway down the page to find the highlighted post.

Unless I'm missing something here, that only styles the tabs. All the css stuff is about the tabs, it seemingly doesn't even touch the menus to recolour them like other dark themes.
To me, looks fine for now. I still have to discover how to recolor the about:preferences though, and fix some white in the about:addons. Sandwich menu and similar stuff get dark through Firefox own theme.

This might be a weird question, but did Firefox alter the colour of blue its Google result links are? Or do I need to get my eyes checked?

They look lighter.

I ended up switching to uMatrix just to try it out and I've grown to like it a lot. The matrix view of scripts is just a good way to lay that data out and how it allows you to easily temporary allow entire domains and their subdomains is nice.

What's the deal with NoScript's update:

It requires your permission to install the update.

It requires permission to:

Download files and read and modify the browser's download history.


Anyone give me a reason NOT to be concerned by that?

Wait hold on, how do you enable it to require user authorization to install updates that require new permissions? I thought it was like that by default but AFAIK, NoScript is up to date and I didn't get a prompt for allowing that new permission.

edit: nevermind just got the prompt and yea that is worrying.

To me, looks fine for now. I still have to discover how to recolor the about:preferences though, and fix some white in the about:addons. Sandwich menu and similar stuff get dark through Firefox own theme.

Weird because it didn't touch anything but the tabs when I tried it.

The android version is already updated with quantum or is still in beta?
I don't know the full scope of Quantum's updates, but Firefox for Android got a UI refresh and no longer works with the old add-ons (web extensions only now, just like 57 on desktop), so I'll lean toward saying "yes."

IIRC Quantum is only available in Nightly on Android, and it's disabled by default.

I'm just loving using Firefox again :D. I do have a question though so hopefully someone can help me out. I had a look at the customise option in the options and added one to my toolbar that says 'Open a file' when I mouseover it. I have been using this to play individual music tracks from my music folder in my documents. Is there a way for me to play whole albums like this? I had a look in the extensions but couldn't find anything suitable so hopefully someone knows one that will do the job for me.

Does anyone else get framedrops in 60FPS Youtube videos? It's especially noticeable when I have both my monitors enabled instead of just one. I don't remember this happening in earlier Firefox versions.
Youtube's Stats for Nerds doesn't count any framedrops, which makes it seem as though Firefox is presenting video frames out of sync with my monitor.

Edit: Test video (Seizure warning, intense flickering). Firefox fails to display half the frames within a couple seconds, while Edge can maintain 60FPS throughout.

Any tab management options yet? Still need something that can lock tabs to a page and stop you closing them.

Edit - Dropped a few frames there, but at most I'd say one every couple of seconds.

To prevent tab closure: right-click > pin tab

To lock tab to a page: go to about:config and change accessibility.blockautorefresh to true

Would be interested, does anybody here use NoScript on Firefox?

Saw a few further at the top wondering about NoScript, so I guess some use it. Heard it is missing some functions still on the newest version of Quantum.
