lekkerlinux Try disabling the hardware acceleration it can slow firefox down and cause other flaky problems.
kyrios Alternatively you can also do a sudo rm /usr/lib64/firefox/extensions/lang*
and restart Firefox which is less time consuming. : )
I need a couple of dictionaries but having them all pre-installed was a pain to use. Make sure to uninstall and re-install any needed dictionary from the addons site in case they got deleted with the command here.
The same goes for Thunderbird, simply replace firefox in the path.
TheSlider2 Except you'll have to do this each time the package is updated...

/usr/lib64/firefox/browser/extensions here
A little customization of the url bar,
To get the url font the same color:
browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled true
To change the color of the padlock back to green:
security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray false
To change the color of the bookmark star using css:
#star-button[starred] {
fill-opacity: 1;
fill: YOUR COLOR HERE !important;
}

Color the toolbar
here are some .css compiled to change the color of the toolbar (icons, folder, accent color etc) using css:
/* URLBAR TEXT FONT COLOR */
#urlbar-input-container {
color: DarkTurquoise !important;
}
/* COLOR OF BOOKMARKS STAR IN URLBAR */
#star-button[starred] {
fill-opacity: 1;
fill: gold !important;
}
/* SEARCHBAR FONT & MAGNIFIER COLOR */
#urlbar, .searchbar-textbox {
color: DarkTurquoise !important;
}
#identity-box[pageproxystate="invalid"] > #identity-icon,
.searchbar-search-icon {
color: DarkTurquoise !important;
}
/* COLOR OF FOLDERS EVERYWHERE */
#bookmarks-view treechildren::-moz-tree-image(container),
#PlacesToolbarItems toolbarbutton[container="true"],
#PlacesToolbarItems menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-left,
#BMB_bookmarksPopup menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-icon,
#bookmarksMenu menu[container="true"] .menu-iconic-icon,
.bookmark-item [container] {
/* FOLDERS COLOR CHANGE */
fill: DarkTurquoise !important ;
}
/* TOOLBAR BUTTON COLOR CHANGE */
:root {
--lwt-toolbarbutton-icon-fill: DarkTurquoise !important;
}
/* ACCENT TAB COLOR CHANGE */
#tabbrowser-tabs{ --tab-line-color: DarkTurquoise !important; }
/* URLBAR & SEARCHBOX BORDER ACCENT COLOR */
#nav-bar{
/* --lwt-toolbar-field-border-color: DarkTurquoise; */
--toolbar-field-focus-border-color: DarkTurquoise;
}
I guess it's an improvement to the current html and css language. You have to ask a specialist, I don't know very much about it, but I find it rather practical and easier to memorize.
brent Modern systems recognize a color name now?
that's actually very old- browsers allowed for colour names in the mid-'90s there were actually two competing standards and they both got adopted, so now
grey
is darker than darkgrey
!
thanks for the info gents. I didn't know (or could not imagine, is more accurate) that there was a long-time, multi-browser, agreed-upon cross-platform industry standard in the the html language of colors, but I guess there would have to be the more I think about it....browsers (mostly) are agnostic to specific operating systems and just have to perform and be somewhat customizable, I imagine. Thanks again. edit: word addition
In case you experience crackling sound when streaming video/audio, for example YouTube, try setting media.webspeech.synth.enabled
to false
To decrease or increase the size of the firefox interface, it will also change the zoom of the web pages (we will need to adjust it via the preferences to find the right balance between the zoom of the interface and the web pages), go to layout.css.devPixelsPerPx
1.2 will increase the interface to 120% for example, 0.8 will decrease it to 80%.
sangheeta To calculate it suitable for your DPI, I recall you can do simple math (your dpi) / 96
Security/Privacy related tweaks for firefox:
website mentioned is https://privacytools.io
https://privacytools.io/browsers/#about_config
important note: some of the tweaks listed in that website could cause you to lose some performance.However, you gain improved security as well as privacy for that sacrifice.
hope you find this useful
