BSD & Gaming

I liked Mozilla before they split off Firefox and then renamed the suite from Mozilla to “Seamonkey” blegh! What a name. I refuse to use it, sorry in my opinion that name is just lame. I can’t believe they couldn’t come up with something better. Ah well… I rant…. blah blah blah.

Anyway… I’ve used tabbed browsing for ages and I prefer to have the close button to the far right in the tab bar. The recent changes of a new page button, a list all button, and having a close button for each and every tab is just annoying. I don’t need all that crap. So every time I setup firefox on a new computer here are two things I do right away.

First – edit the userChrome.css file for your profile by adding these lines after the
@namespace line:

.tabs-container > stack {display:none!important;}
.tabs-newtab-button {display: none !important;}

Second – go to about:config and filter for browser.tabs.closeButtons and change the value to “3“.

TADAH! Once again the tab bar is cleaned of all the junk I don’t want and my close button is on the right where I prefer it. This works great in FreeBSD so I assume it should work fine for windowsz and linux based os’s.
