Why can't I make the goddamn huge orange Firefox button into something that takes less space on my screen? :angry:

#appmenu-button {
  padding: 6px 8px !important;
  min-width: 0 !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-text {   
  visibility: collapse !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker { 
  margin: 0 !important; 
}

Putting this in userChrome.css gets rids of it completely:

#appmenu-button { display: none !important; }

To get its functions, press alt for the menu bar.

Not really a good long term option, tbh.

I've done similar to bogas04's code and reduced it to an icon (even though I have a wide screen, it still feels useful). My code is a little different though.

    #appmenu-button {
      padding: 2px 6px !important;
      min-width: 0 !important;
    }

    #appmenu-button .button-icon {
      list-style-image: url("chrome://branding/content/icon16.png");
    }

    #appmenu-button .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker {
    margin: 0 !important;
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }

Any reason for that? Are some changes coming in that will make a difference?

I am wondering the same thing. If you ask me Mozilla should make the button movable, hideable, etc by default like Opera. Not trying to make this a argument though of which browser is better and so on. Just saying. Didn't even realize this was possible in Opera. It surprises me you can't do the same in Firefox without editing the userChrome.css or using a add-on. I finally realize what people have been talking about for so long. If you ask me if it wasn't for Firefox's free add-on system it would have no advantages. Now given that hopefully Mozilla makes this possible with the button in Firefox 4.1. I have faint they will.

Like I always said will always love Firefox and Opera the same that it is difficult to decide which one to use as my default at times. I basically go back and forth constantly.

Finally see why people asked Mozilla to include Thunderbird within Firefox too but hopefully that will never happen. Opera can somehow make their installer so small even with all the extra programs/features. No idea how but kudos to them! If it wasn't for them it wouldn't push Mozilla even more to create a better browser constantly!

FF4 is probably still a good 4-6 weeks away :sleep:

look at all the problems that still need fixing... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=556524,586314,589670,591687,593372,603793,604699,610526,613800,614347,616518,626016,626206,626602,626678,626909,627729,628651,628872,629227,629799,629909,630072,630690,630827,630835,630877,630932,630947,630957,631494,631733,632343,632379,632781,632844,632867,632923,632964,632969,633016,633383,633409,633511,633520,633622,633672

based on this i don't think they are rushing to get FF4 out the door because the number of bugs continues to go up. and on that list it needs to be zero before its released even.

I hope it still allows for a separate window to be opened like the current download manager. I like the ability to close the main browser window and still have the ability to continue downloads.

Yep same here. That is what I do with the default firefox download manager and DownThemAll sometimes. That is if I ever close my browser.

The only thing I hate about the default firefox download manager is if you don't let it open while downloading and close the main browser window your download stops or pauses.

Your continued bitching is :sleep: . Why don't you install the nightlies and try to do something like finding bugs and helping the developers?

So, it won't make it to final? It would've been great if it did. but well... Firefox is getting polished really neatly and I can't complain.

What's wrong with the current one?

I've never had much of a problem with it, (Aside from Windows 7 requiring me to make 2 clicks to get to it every time now thanks to the icon grouping.) but apparently Mozilla thinks there's a few things that could be improved.

    #appmenu-button {

    #appmenu-button .button-icon {
      list-style-image: url("chrome://branding/content/icon16.png");
    }

    #appmenu-button .button-text {
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button .button-menu-dropmarker {
    margin: 0 !important;
    visibility: collapse !important;
    }

I really like that a lot, but could someone give me the CSS to recolour the button? I've been digging through the CSS files and had no success.

Edit: And if anyone has a simple fix for making the minimize, maximize, and exit buttons translucent, that would be awesome, too.

Nothing very specific, just that relying on the menu bar instead of the Firefox button isn't always going to work as the button is generally the thing superseding the menu bar.

Is there a way for firefox to open 'restore previous session' on the current window? I'm using ff4beta11.

What do you mean exactly? When you close and reopen the window, the default is that it'll open the set of tabs from last time - controlled by the Startup option on the General tab of Options. Otherwise, you have the restore tabs and restore windows options in the history menu?

He wants to restore the previous session in the same windows from the 'restore previous session' in the 'about:home' page
