4.0.9 – Alt menu bar
Pressing Alt on Windows used to wreck the whole row. @atrehhoff reported it in #78, and it turned out to be a leftover from Cascade, the theme FoxOne was originally built on. Two smaller fixes came along while I was in there.
Fixed
- The menu bar revealed by Alt or F10 now lies over the nav-bar instead of squeezing into the row. Tabs, hamburger, puzzle and window controls stay where they are, and the URL bar is back as soon as the menu closes. A permanently shown menu bar and Customize mode still get their own row, as in vanilla Firefox. (#78, reported and tested by @atrehhoff)
- The tab strip no longer jumps by a pixel when the menu bar appears. The hidden menu bar had been holding an invisible 1px sliver at the left edge of the row since day one. (#78)
- With the bookmarks bar set to "Only Show on New Tab", the find bar no longer slides down on URL-bar hover over normal pages, where no bookmarks bar appears. FoxOne was checking for the wrong attribute value. (found while looking into #87)
- The AI chatbot sidebar no longer shows a thin light line along its bottom edge. Since Firefox 158 the hidden summarize strip sits inside a footer that brings its own border, and that footer is now hidden as well.
Notes
- Only
userChrome.csschanged.userContent.cssjust carries the new version number, so there's no need to copy it again. - Every option is explained in the customisation guide.
- Tested on Firefox 160 and ESR 153 on Windows with
browser.nova.enabledset totrue.
