Always a good thing. That said, I downloaded Pale Moon yesterday and tested it briefly: installed TST and one or two other extensions, visited a few ordinary sites. Even after all those years it still feel good. It is snappy and the lack of a noisy tab bar on the top in addition to TST is actually a huge deal! So my question for anyone from Mozilla who steps in here: when will you start fixing the extension API? I get it the new API is more secure, but there is nothing that prevents making tab positions configurable in a safe way. Also, could someone please fix that nasty UX bug that some UX designer introduced a decade or so ago where - if you select the tiniest thing on the page - the navigation buttons disappear from the context menus. After a decade or more this inconsistency still annoys me.

You can get rid of the top tab and pretty much everything else by editing the chrome.css files. The problem is updates break it frequently. https://imgur.com/BPDN1uP https://imgur.com/BPDN1uP The tabs expand on mouse-over: https://imgur.com/7iCYykg https://imgur.com/7iCYykg

      Isn't it obvious? Since Firefox 69 or so, loading of userChrome.css and userContent.css is turned off by default, and must be explicitly enabled in about:config. Which is where features go to die.

  There are long standing bugs for both of these.

Sorry do you want to remove the top tab bar because you use TST? I haven't had a tab bar for ever. I think it might need an edit in user.chrome but is very straight forward.
