Add this to you userchrome.css profile file : #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; } #sidebar-header { visibility: collapse; }

  Where is that file supposed to be placed at?
  - jimktrains2 9y ago
    For me it's at ~/.mozilla/firefox-trunk/047mvdpd.default/chrome/userChrome.css (your profile id will be different, and it'll be firefox instead of firefox-trunk if you're not running nightly).

    Click Help -> Troubleshooting information (or type about:support into the address bar) and it will show your current Profile Folder. It's in the chrome subfolder under that.

    you may have to manually create this btw. I had to create the dir and file by hand and then restart FF.

      Wow thanks, the directory was absent in my profile, and I was thinking maybe my version doesn't do this. It's all nice and (slightly more) spacious now!

  I wish there was a way to collapse the tab war only when the tree style tabs are visible. I find the extension very useful when I have a workflow that requires categorizing many tabs open, but the bar uses too much horizontal real estate to justify keeping it open constantly.

    Mozilla is still working on an actual API for hiding tabs, so presumably this should be possible in a few versions from now.

  FYI, you need this at the top of your userChrome.css: @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); See more details here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&printable=yes http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&pri...

Everyone should give it a try. I did give it a try. Before Firefox 57 I used Tab Groups to organise my tabs. I always wondered what the fuss was about Tree Style Tabs. Now I know, it is a wonderful addon.

  I used both and it was even better... When I'm working on a specific problem I tend to open a lot of tabs, so my workflow was to create a new group, open all the tabs I needed while I worked (sometimes I'd open the same link in several tabs because it was easier than trying to find where it was) and, at the end, move whatever tabs I wanted to keep (for reference or future use) and closed the whole group. That and good names for groups made easy to find anything even with hundreds of tabs. If something else came up and I had to drop everything I could open the groups view, select the appropriate group and have an almost-instant context switch. Then I could go right back to whatever I was doing and pick it up with the same ease. With Tree Tabs but without Groups I can do something similar by using the root of each subtree as a group. However, it's not as nice: - You can't change the title of the tab, all you can do is use a website whose title describes as best as possible the contents of the subtree, which makes groups like 'email' and 'Hacker news' easy to recognize, but complex tasks almost impossible (not to speak of two similar but separate tasks) - Even if I close all the subtrees and only leave open the one I'm working on, the titles are still there, always visible. I find that it makes it more difficult for me to concentrate (and increases the chances of procrastination) I miss Tab Groups.

    Firefox's "environments" are almost as lovely as Tab Groups though.

1. Navigate to your profile folder [1]. 2. cd chrome or create the directory if it isn't there 3. Inside chrome, open userChrome.css or create it if it isn't there 4. Paste the following: @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* to hide the native tabs */ #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; } /* to hide the sidebar header */ #sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header { display: none; } 5.

  It's been a while since I did any xulrunner programming, so my question might be a little Rusty these days, but: Is it still true that there is only xul? Isn't there a Dana? I want to talk to Dana. Dana. Dana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg7MAacSPNM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lg7MAacSPNM

for laptop users, there is an extension to open links in a new tab by double tapping on your track pad. Unfortunately I think it's not supported by the new Firefoxs. But it was dead useful.
