A Firefox userChrome.css theme that aims to recreate the look and feel of Microsoft Edge.

Here's a list of changes in this fork (compared to the upstream).

• Compact tabbar
• Larger icons on newtab
• Pins visible for pinned sites on newtab

How to install

1. Go to about:support and click the "Open Folder/Show in Finder" button for the root directory of your browser profile.

2. Download the repository and extract the files.

3. From the repository folder, copy the chrome folder and user.js file into your Firefox profile folder.

4. Close and restart Firefox, if performed correctly, the theme should now be installed.

5. Optionally, listed below are some additional Firefox settings that can be changed using about:config:

---

Rounded browser corners

Add padding and rounded corners around the browser window, as seen in the newest redesign of Edge.

Hide tabs toolbar

This hides the tabs toolbar when using a vertical tabs extension such as Sidebery, Tree Style Tab or Tab Center Reborn.

uc.tweak.hide-tabs-bar

Optionally, the window controls can be hidden from the navbar by using:

uc.tweak.hide-tabs-bar.no-window-controls

---

Sidebery Theme

Enables the Sidebery extension sidebar theme, can be used with or without the hide tabs toolbar tweak. For a preview of the Sidebery theme, see the macOS screenshot in the Screenshots section.

Setup

Download and install Sidebery from the Firefox addons store.

On Linux the colour theme may not work properly. To fix this, you can enable the "auto: dark/light" colour scheme option inside Sidebery (though this will disable the custom Firefox theme colours, and only use system light/dark colours).

To open the Sidebery settings page, find its icon in the toolbar or in the extensions menu, then right-click it and select 'Open settings'.

Recommended settings

• Context menu:
  • Use native context menu: 'on'
• Navigation bar:
  • layout: 'horizontal' or 'hidden'
  • Bottom bar of tabs panel:
    • Recently closed tabs: 'off'
    • Bookmarks: 'off'
    • History: 'off'
• Tabs:
  • Show new tab buttons: 'on' or 'off'
  • New tab buttons:
    • position: 'after tabs'
  • Position of new tab:
    • Place new tab opened from another tab: 'do not move it'
• Pinned tabs:
  • Pinned tabs position: 'in panel - top'
  • Show titles of pinned tabs: 'on' or 'off'
• Appearance:
  • Theme: 'proton'
  • Color scheme: 'firefox'

Alternatively, you can import the provided sidebery.json configuration file, but this will restore Sidebery to the default settings before applying it.

Force tab colour to match the toolbar colour
