this is my all time high firefox setup. today mozilla launched a new add-on named
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/prospector-oneLiner/?src=search"
linktext was:"oneliner"
====================================
, by doing this they made all my customizations in to one anorexic add-on. this feature of navigation bar combined with tab bar was internet explorer's idea. who knew that they can think of something new and not copy it? __{{emoticon}}__ a brief description from left to right:
- back and forward arrows that are not displayed when there is nothing to go to.
- address bar with google search as default.
- reload/stop/go all-in-one button.
- a search button that goes to about:home. i don't know why it's invisible.
-

linktext was:"firefox icon button"
====================================
for the menu instead of the name button. (custom icons for the menu and bookmarks)
- bookmark menu by the add-on
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/personal-menu/"
linktext was:"personal menu"
====================================
. as you can see the menu doesn't have a drop-down arrow and every option from the menu is removed, leaving only the bookmarks. this button allows me to open the bookmark menu with left click, make a bookmark with the middle click and open the bookmark library with the right click of the mouse. unsorted bookmarks was also removed but i seams not to work in firefox 7.
- new tab button.
- and the tab bar with 3 tabs opened. for the tab bar i use the

with a
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://userstyles.org/styles/43607/firefox-4-on-linux-native-tabs"
linktext was:"script"
====================================
that allows me to use the system colors for tabs. because in the latest linux firefox the theme has a 3D gradient white effect, it looks very awful on my all black setup.

that's about it, hope you like it and can use something from it.

black slim for you. because the user and password section is so minimal you can use other wallpapers and move the box where ever you want from the config of the theme. enjoy.

with the launch of the australis interface for firefox all my addons and customizations were broken.
why? because designers and programmers are stupid and they decided to listen to the masses.
you can't imagine the number of bug reports on the mozilla bug tracker, it's over 9000! __{{emoticon}}__
so after more than a month i have managed to find replacements for most of the broken addons or scripts. here they are:

1. appearance:
-
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========

linktext was:"oneliner"

)
-
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-bookmark-here-2/"
linktext was:"add bookmark here ²"
====================================
permits the removal of bookmark menu items and changes the behavior of the bookmark star
-
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/"
linktext was:"stylish"

with
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://userstyles.org/styles/101451/firefox-29-australis-native-tabs"
linktext was:"firefox 29 australis - native tabs"
====================================
, this allows me to use the system colors for tabs.

2. security:
-
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock"
linktext was:"µblock"
====================================
finally, an efficient blocker. easy on cpu and memory.
-

-
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duckduckgo-for-firefox/"
linktext was:"duckduckgo"
====================================
the search engine that doesn't track you, or so they say...
- disable thumbnails permanently in the newtab page. why? because you won't believe what firefox is doing, it's saving thumbnails of all the sites that you visited in ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/*.default/thumbnails, have a look for yourself. to disable them, open about:config and change browser.newtabpage.enabled to false, to disable the newtab, and change the browser.newtab.url value to about:blank to disable the thumbnails. you have to delete the ones in the folder manually.

3. visual changes to websites:
