Hi,
I'll have to read back and see what you gave up on

Getting my tab heights lower Mike ... and they are fixed now thanks to Ghot.

I still haven't figured out how to make the TAB height, the same way it was on 96.0.1 though...

I know that you fixed it but maybe it could also be to do with compact mode vs normal.

Video: No custom CSS just the regular firefox with a few other tweaks. At the end of the video watch the tab height change when compact mode is toggled.

Mine does that as well. All in all, the custom css file only "uses" about 8-9 tweaks.

Most of those are responsible for the grey color, the tabs on the bottom, the "much more noticeable" icons on the address bar, bookmark lists that aren't a mile long, and the "lack" of a few of those useless icons on the right side of the address bar.

I didn't sign up for all these "changes" Mozilla made. The css file undoes those "changes".

Usually for size reasons, I don't show the entire top of Firefox, but....




Back in the day, this is how FF "used" to look. Mozilla succeeded IMO. This is where they "should" have stopped.



Like that double space on bookmarks... try to imagine my youtube links on double space (2560 x 1600 monitor)...
I have a few that are far bigger than even this one, and they're already "nested" 3-4 deep.







By themselves... each of these changes by Mozilla... isn't too bad.
But, taken all together, it's like 'hey, who took my browser'?

Has anyone noticed that when you're in a bookmark folder you can't wheel scroll if you're on a series of folders?
Once I get to a list of single bookmarks I can wheel scroll again until I reach a folder and then scrolling stops.

I am aware of the up and down arrows that control scrolling but I don't use them unless I have to, I prefer using the mouse wheel.

When I look at my bookmarks my mouse wheel works just fine, always has.

Thx Mike!
I looked at my browsing settings and it has something to do with the auto / smooth scrolling settings mostly auto b/c when I turn auto off I can scroll right through the folders but then it reverted back to the old behavior, its intermittent.

I'm going to look around and see if I can find something.

p.s. This behavior was happening before I placed Ghot's Chrome 4.1.3 file into the default profile folder.

Hope you get it working right today, on my 2nd pc I'm not using any extra files in FF, its all stock. The mouse works fine in that one too.
