Raise your hand if you have ever played with the Stylish extension for Firefox. Now raise your other hand if you knew where to find some of the cooler application style for Firefox.
For all of you who have both of your hands in the air - I want you to wave them like you just don’t care. For the folks with one hand still on the mouse, scroll down to see some of my favorite tweaks to Firefox you can do with the Stylish extension for Firefox.
Add Something to the about:blank Page - Why does the about:blank page have to be so - blank? There are several cool styles you can load up here to give your about:blank page a makeover. Here are a few more cool ones to pick from: About:Blank - Foxkeh and About:Blank - Washout.
Auto-hide Statusbar - Tired of your ugly statusbar getting in the way of your browsing? Load up this style and it will only show when you hover over the bottom section of your Firefox window. Move your mouse, and it disappears again just like magic!
Sliding Menubar - Menubar getting in your way too? Load up this style and you can set it to only be shown when you need it. Click on the Firefox icon in the old menu bar place to show it and hide it. No reason to show all of those options up there if you don’t use them all the time.
Bookmark Folder Icons - Add your own icons to specific folders inside of your bookmarks. This is helpful if you have a load of bookmarks and folders for the bookmarks and want an easier visual way to navigate inside them.
Colorize Firefox 2.0 Active Tab - Tired of your active tab looking like all the rest of them? Wish it was a little easier to see the tab you were on in comparison with all the other tabs that are in the background? This user style does the trick and allows you to set your own color combination.
