My CSS files to use with Firefox and Sidebery


My goal with these settings was to create a minimalistic yet functional setup with Sidebery tuned to match Firefox Default Dark Theme and optimise the workspace. If you find any odd behaviour feel free to send a pull request.



I took a break from Firefox and was experimenting with MS Edge. It was lovely while I was on Windows, but since I decided to move to Linux full-time now (best decision of my life, by the way), Edge is just not a great choice anymore. I don't personally care too much about privacy on my browser, and that's not the reason why I'm back to Firefox but I won't lie to you: it feels great to have high levels of control over it. Edge feels "artificial" on Linux, it has different issues depending on the distro and Firefox is just a huge linux champion in my opinion. So that's it, my affair with Edge is over and I'm back to maintaining this theme actively.


How to install?

  1. In Firefox, go to about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to True
  2. Make sure you have the chrome folder within your firefox profile
  3. Get Sidebery v5 (beta) if you don't have it already installed
  4. Copy userChrome.css, darkTheme.css and privTheme.css to the chrome folder
  5. Go to Sidebery settings and paste the content of my sidebery.css file into Styles editor > Sidebar
  6. Enjoy your new setup!

Known bugs

  • In Sidebery beta, autoshrink triggers when you're moving a tab even though the mouse is still hovering the panel. I decided to disable that characteristic until I find a workaround.
  • When moving a tab, the tab position indicator doesn't follow the margin-top CSS rule for tabs; if it bothers you a lot, identify .Tab {margin-top: 5px; and remove it.  Fixed!
