Trying to switch to Firefox, making solid progress. I made a theme, that is pretty close to Chrome, the address bar is white, tab is white (no borders). One thing still bugs me: Why is the Firefox tab not connected to the address bar?

I really would like it to be connected. It's such a minor thing though, that it's not a dealbreaker.

PLOT THICKENS! I just discovered Firefox's Browser Toolkit, which allows the redesign tab bar with mostly CSS. This is great! I vaguely remember XUL from the Phoenix era, but that was more painful if I recall.

I figured out how to remove the gap and some shadows with some userChrome.css trickery.

@Ciantic Herein lies the problem with Firefox (for me, at least). Out of the box, there are so many little papercuts and annoyances. It's tweak the theme, add this plugin, etc. to get it to where I can use it. And then you finally get to where it's tolerable and you run into broken sites and things that just don't work right. For the tabs, have you considered trying tabs on the side instead of the top?

@jameskoole Yes, that sounds right, I also have tried to switch before, and it this is pain. I have a lot of work to do if I do a full switch.

I use a lot of virtual desktops so I don't have chaos in my tab bar, so the sidebar is not that useful for me.

Mostly what I miss is Chrome's ability to open sites like apps with their own taskbar button.

Gladly I haven't run into broken sites, yet! But another option is to look at other Chromium-based browsers, they don't have sync to phone though.
