Firefox 4 on linux change to one button menu and make it nice and orange
When I upgraded to Firefox 4 on my linux machines I was disappointed to see that the classic menu bar remained. I’m not necesarily a fan of the new ribbon interfaces but since I don’t use the menu often and so prefer to use the space for something useful, like the tabs.
Reducing the menu bar to a button is easy.
Right click on the menu bar and uncheck Menu bar
At this point the menu is reduced to a button, unfortunately an ugly button. If you want it nice and orange you need to hack your userChrome.css
file:
cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxxxx.default/chrome
vi userChrome.css
Paste the following:
/*
* Edit this file and copy it as userChrome.css into your
* profile-directory/chrome/
*/
/*
* This file can be used to customize the look of Mozilla's user interface
* You should consider using !important on rules which you want to
* override default settings.
*/
/*
* Do not remove the @namespace line - it's required for correct functioning
*/
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /\* set default namespace to XUL \*/
