Simple tweak to make your active tab wider. Using ChromEdit add the following lines to your userChrome.css file: /* Make the active tab wider */ #content tab[selected=”true”] { min-width: 200px !important; } Once you have added these lines, click Save, then Restart; your active tab will be wider than the inactive tabs when Firefox restarts. Notes: You can substitute any value for the ‘200px’. This tweak works for Fx 2 & 3. Tip Source: Eric Wendelin’s Blog

Along with the ‘Go’ Button and the Bookmark ‘Star’ (Fx 3) buttons there is also a ‘Live Feed’ button to add clutter to the address bar: To remove the ‘Live Feed’ Button use ChromEdit and add the following lines to your userChrome.css file: /* Remove live feed icon in Address url toolbar */ #feed-button { display: none !important; } Once you have added these lines, click Save, then Restart; the ‘Live Feed’ button will be gone when Firefox restarts. Note: This tweak works for Fx 2 & 3. Tip Source: Eric Wendelin’s Blog

As if the ‘Go’ Button weren’t bad enough, Firefox 3 adds a Bookmark ‘Star’ Button to the address bar. This ‘feature’ allows you to bookmark the current page you are browsing. This can also be accomplished by pressing CTRL+D (Add Bookmark), selecting Bookmark This Page from either the Bookmarks or Context (right-click) menu. To remove the Bookmark ‘Star’ Button use ChromEdit and add the following lines to your userChrome.css file: /* Remove the Bookmark star */ #star-button { display: none !important; } Once you have added these lines, click Save, then Restart; the ‘Star’ will be gone when Firefox restarts….

Here is the text you need to copy into your UserChrome.css file: /*Remove the search button (magnifying glass) */ .search-go-button { display: none !important; } New Source: Eric Wendelin’s Blog

Since I just installed Firefox 3 and starting with a clean slate I am having to go through my Tweaks List anyway to get Firefox 3 setup the way I like it. This will give me a chance to see which ones work with Firefox 3 and which ones don’t (and which ones should be removed). Further this section requires a massive redesign as right now it is nothing more than a list of links with brief descriptions. I will be breaking these tweaks into categories to make them easier to find. Look for the redesign section to go live…

I have finally gotten around to installing Firefox 3 Beta 5 earlier today. I haven’t done much yet, but noticed a bit of an interface change. The first thing I went to do was go into about:config to make some modifications to the default settings. Upon entering about:config in the address bar and pressing enter I was presented with this humorous warning. This replaces a similar warning from earlier versions of Firefox 3.
