    Re: Firefox 4 Mega Thread

    I didn't notice. However, I've removed the delay remover extension and set that config key, and the delay seems to be fixed. So thanks again.

    • Click the first icon on the upper left of DOM Inspector dialog. Is the one which the tooltip says "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it"
    • Then click the toolbar icon you want to change. The DOM Inspector will select the corresponding DOM element in the tree. Write the ID of the element somewhere. You will need it soon.
    • Now get the icon image you want to use, visit URI Kitchen, browse the icon you want to use and click the "generate" button. Copy the entire result, which will look like "data:image/png,%89PNG%0D%0A%1A%0A%00%00%00%0DI..."
    • Now click the Stylish icon in the toolbar, select "Write new style >> Blank style". A dialog will popup. Give it a name like "Firefox Windows Theme". In the code area, type this:


    Code:
    @namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
    
    #domelementid {list-style-image: url(data:image/png,%89PNG%0D%0A%1A%0A%00%00%00%0DI) !important;
    }
    Replace domelementid with the ID you got from DOM Inspector. Replace "data:image/png,%89PNG%0D%0A%1A%0A%00%00%00%0DI" with the data uri you got from URI Kitchen. Click "Preview" to view the result and "Save" to save the new style.

    You can add as many replacements like above to the same Sylish script.
    Way too complicated - For me anyways.

    The icons I want to use are in FF 4 on my Windows machine. the ones I want to replace are on my Linux machines. I don't understand how your method is supposed to work given the different machines.

    I wish there was a a "themes" folder and all the little button icons were .png files in that folder. It would be so easy to swap things around that way.

    I'll probably just wind up waiting/hoping someone makes a Windows 7 theme for Linux - or one close enough that I can be satisfied.

    EDIT:

    I'll give this another look when I get time to mess with it.

    Re: Firefox 4 Mega Thread

    I am finding (and this was true of Firefox 3.6 and is also true in XP) that when I print a web page out that the print is very small almost unreadable. I use Squint to enlarge typeface on web pages but this doesn't work for printouts. Tried one addon called iWeb2Print that looked promising but I can't seem to get it to install properly.
    Any suggestions would be welcome

    For me too. It doesn't worth the trouble.

    You need to copy the icons from the Windows version.

    The icons are in a jar file. You can copy them.

    See https://developer.mozilla.org/index....etting_Started

    That page has instructions on how to extract the icons and create a new theme. Easier than going through the DOM/Stylish method.

    Sorry for the delay. I was trying to accomplish that by building an extension, but so far I haven't been successful.

    I was able to find some Stylish scripts. They need some tweaking tho.

    http://userstyles.org/styles/44781/f...-google-chrome
    http://userstyles.org/styles/45007/f...ogle-chrome-ii

    There is an extension that used to do that, called Find Toolbar Tweaks, but the function that allowed to place the Find toolbar on top was dropped in the version compatible with Firefox 4.

    I am still trying to accomplish that via extension. I will let you know if I can get it to work.

    Re: Firefox 4 Mega Thread

    Hey,

    I just released a new extension for FF 4, called Content Toolbar:

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...ntent-toolbar/
    http://www.webgapps.org/addons/content-toolbar

    This little extension adds a customizable toolbar just above the page content, where you can place any toolbar item, like search bar or address bar. Instead of crossing the entire browser width, this toolbar shrinks when you open the sidebar, since it is placed on it's side and not above it.

    Probably won't be very useful to most users, but I was annoyed with the fact that I couldn't have a toolbar aligned with the page content when my sidebar is opened, instead of being aligned with the other toolbars. I use the sidebar all the time, so I made this extension to "solve my problem".

    Anyway, it might be useful to someone else.

    Re: Firefox 4 Mega Thread

    I'm still using FF4. I'm still getting glitches with it, and it runs slow sometimes and uses too many resources. I used some of the terminal commands that were mentioned on the first page of this thread which may have caused my problem. I think the settings are wrong. Is there a way I can change the settings in the Terminal to default settings so they will run as they should?

    Although you could theoretically change Firefox settings via terminal, you normally don't. I am not sure if you are referring to something else, so I will refrain from giving a command to reset Firefox settings until I have a better understanding of your situation. Please be more specific about which commands you have used.

    Actually, all of them, unfortunately. I still have the menu, as 3.6 had. I would rather have the default settings for FF4 or return to 3.6 if that is possible.
