Was tinkering with userchrome and sidebery this day and it got me thinking how others has their firefox customized. Let’s bring the fun back to firefox. Share your screenshots. :)
I used sidebery and edited the userchrome.css using guides from r/FirefoxCSS
here’s some guides for them:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/rmi8dg/yet_another_sidebery_setup/
- https://superuser.com/questions/1268732/how-to-hide-tab-bar-tabstrip-in-firefox-57-quantum
But for reference, here are the codes for them (since Reddit appears to be down at the time of this writing)
Here’s the sidebery link on github

Minimal. Matches my terminal theme.
Sleek and beautiful. And judging from that desktop, you’ve got a pretty big monitor.
Thanks. The monitor is an LG DualUp. It is the best productivity monitor I’ve ever owned. So much that within 3 weeks of buying one, I had to buy a second.
Speaking as someone who’s mostly on a laptop screen, that thing is big. When at home (which doesn’t happen a lot these days), I connect my laptop to a more modest Xiaomi 1C Monitor 23.8 Inch. I am not a techie so I’m not sure what I can use a vertical monitor for though.
It’s like two regular horizontal 24in screens on top of each other.
Why is there a SEARCH bar next to the bar where you can search anyway? How did you get that bar on the left with icons?

also privacy issues with sending every keystroke in my address bar to a search engine
You can switch search engines through the address bar too.

Why is there a SEARCH bar next to the bar where you can search anyway?
Muscle memory I guess. I associate the main bar with typing in websites. While the smaller one for search. That’s how I’ve been doing it for years.
The icons are pinned tabs using sideberry and CSS from r/FirefoxCSS
I installed that Sideberry, pretty neat.
Your Firefox looks exceedingly similar to mine…
Hey, we have good taste!
How did you set your firefox up like this?
My UI isn’t really customized, as I prefer it as clean and bloat free as possible to maximize the space for actual content. Like that extra search & side bar and all the icons are something I’d judge you for. ;)
Ehh. Different strokes, I guess. Too much minimalism for me becomes extra step. Like if remove the search bar, I would have to type in duckduckgo.com everytime I need to search. Without the pinned icons, I would have to type gmail everytime, for example. Firefox is my secondary desktop and I treat those icons as kind of like a mini app. :)
Huh? No you do not? You just type your search term into the address bar and have DDG set as your default search engine. You also do not have to type the whole address to reach a website when it is part of your history. Usually the first one or two letters are already enough.
This feels like people still using desktop icons instead of just using the start menu search.
I remember design suggestion that made address bar floating until you come near it. So all the tab navigation was on the tab bar itself. Felt weird a bit, but damn the window was clear. There was nothing other than tabs and web content.
Here ya go!
For some reason, this reminds me of the old digg. I’m feeling nostalgic. :)
