🎨 Customization

All the configuration will be managed in the userChrome.css file. And also all the code is commented so you can easily change values and colors as you like.

πŸ’› Colors

In this section of the code you can change the colors, there's a window color and a tabs / urlbar color.

:root {
  --sfwindow: #19171a;
  --sfsecondary: #201e21;
}

🚧 URL Bar

urlbardifference

You can show and hide the URL Bar (See the difference above) by commenting / uncomment the following section of code:

/*─────────────────────────────*/
/* Comment this section if you */
/* want to show the URL Bar    */
/*─────────────────────────────*/

.urlbarView {
  display: none !important;
}

/*─────────────────────────────*/

πŸ”§ Recommended settings

  • Right click on toolbar -> Customize.
    • Remove (as you want) all the removable elements including extensions, drag space and buttons.
  • Install the SimpleFox add on theme.

🍱 Startpage

If anyone has the doubt, in almost all of the screenshots you can see a Startpage made for it. It's called Bento 🍱 and It's another project I made. It fits with the Firefox theme because It's done with the same principles: Minimalist, Simple and Elegant.

β›² One line version: Cascade

Andreas Grafen has made an awesome work making a One Line theme inspired by SimpleFox. As it's work is awesome and allows you customization I can totally recomend it. Here you can find his repo: Link

⚠️ Notes

  • As Firefox changed at version 88 introducing the Proton UI, all the old files and configurations moved to oldFirefox branch.
  • Windows and MacOS are currently tested but may not be in the future.
  • Some custom themes (And GTK themes in Linux) may break context menus.
