My Firefox setup

I mentioned in some previous posts that my primary browser is Mozilla Firefox. I use it on all my Windows computers and also on my Android phone. It keeps everything synchronized, so you can easily continue where you ended on the other machine.

I will talk about extensions later, but one of most important is Tree Style Tab that allows to organize open pages in a collapsible tree. When you work with many sources on multiple projects, this is great way to keep on top of it. My browser look like this:

One downside is that the original tabs are still visible when you install the extension. Following steps can hide it:

• Go to about:config in the browser, set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to True
• Go to about:support, under Profile Folder select Open Folder
• In the folder, create chrome directory, create file userChrome.css with following contents:

/* hides the native tabs */
#TabsToolbar {
  visibility: collapse;
}
#main-window[tabsintitlebar="true"]:not([extradragspace="true"]) #TabsToolbar > .toolbar-items {
  opacity: 0;
  pointer-events: none;
}
#main-window:not([tabsintitlebar="true"]) #TabsToolbar {
    visibility: collapse !important;
}
#sidebar-box[sidebarcommand="treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp-sidebar-action"] #sidebar-header {
  display: none;
}
.tab {
  margin-left: 1px;
  margin-right: 1px;
}

Other Extensions I use

• Copy PlainText - provides a function to copy text as is without any formatting
• Duplicate Tabs Closer - I mostly use this to remove my JIRA tickets. I usually get them through communicators or emails as well as email notifications. It is very common that same ticket gets opened multiple times
• I still don’t care about cookies - accept cookies without having to click
• uBlock Origin - block Ads and other annoying parts in pages
