[SOLVED] FireFox update squared off tab corners

[GreyGeek]

and I can't find a persona or an option in "about:config" which can round them off. I also haven't found an add-on which works with 3.6.3 that adds rounded corners.

I've modified the userChrome.css in both /etc/firefox/chrome/profile and in the ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../chrome, but neither helps.

Anyone know how to round them off?

Re: FireFox update squared off tab corners

Mine are rounded off even with the default theme, provided I don't set my GTK+ theme to something blocky like Raleigh. Actually, I had to install gtk-chtheme to get square tabs in Firefox (not that I want them, just to test). So maybe if you used gtk-chtheme and selected QtCurve (say) you could get round tabs.

Edit: I don't think Personas can alter the shape of the widgets, only the UI's "wallpaper" (so to speak). But you could try the Firefox themes "Oxygen KDE" or "NASA Night Launch". Personally, I use a combination of QtCurve for GTK+ and "Anna Sui Flowers" for Firefox.

I've had QtCurve selected. The tabs retain square corners regardless of the theme or the persona.

Re: FireFox update squared off tab corners

One more thing that comes to mind (though by now I doubt it'll help) is that it's always seemed to make a difference here whether I picked a GTK+ theme in the "GTK+ Appearance" of KDE System Settings or through gtk-chtheme. They don't seem to do the exact same thing and it's easy to get hybrid themes that're part this, part that.

But if your Firefox is resistant even to its own themes... huh!

Re: FireFox update squared off tab corners

Yesterday I created the following file:
/home/jerry/.mozilla/firefox/6z0og68c.default/chrome/userChrome.css by copying userChrome-example.css (in the same subdirectory) and editing it to include the line:
@import url("chrome://browser/skin/subskins/round-tab.css");


That did not seem to help at the time. This morning I turned on my laptop and fired up FireFox. To my surprise the tab corners were rounded!

I am surprised because when one changes the config of an app all one usually has to do is restart the app. Having to reboot in order for FireFox to see the contents of userChrome.css is not the norm, except when changing Linux kernels.

A cache issue maybe?

So why don't I have to do that?

I don't know... As a joke on a couple of occasions I'd walk up to the box that was giving someone problems (hardware, software, printer, what ever), put my hands on it and say "HEAL!" in preacher tones ... and the problem was gone. I.E., after I "laid my hands on it" they couldn't reproduce the problem.

Too bad you didn't live close by ...
