  • https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix
  • This set of scripts offers the opportunity to get the old Photon-style tabs back and, as all the colours are defined in a `userChrome.css` file, one can even tweak the colours to increase the contrast even more:
  • ```
  • :root:not(:-moz-lwtheme) #titlebar {
  • --mac-hover-bgcolor: ButtonFace;
  • background: rgb(209, 209, 215) !important; /* change here for title background */
  • }
  • ```

  • I also like to add the star button from the adress bar:
  • ```
  • /* Hide star button (bookmark) */
  • #star-button-box{
  • display:none !important;
  • }
  • ```
