• A: How to Customize Firefox’s User Interface With userChrome.css

Firefox’s userChrome.css file is a cascading style sheet (CSS) file that Firefox uses. While style sheets are normally applied to web pages, this particular style sheet is applied to Firefox’s user interface. It allows you to change the appearance and layout of everything surrounding the webpage iteslf. You can’t actually add any features; you can only modify what’s already there to change, hide, or move it.

• FirefoxUI css example

Plugin

• SingleFileZ / HN - Save web pages as self-extracting HTML/ZIP hybrid files
  • Only Chrome requires the installation of SingleFileZ to view saved pages from the filesystem.

vs Chrome

• The Google cookie that came out of nowhere
• Ghostery, NoScript.. add-ons frequently phone home
• Chrome supports the ping attribute
• Chrome is entrenching third-party cookies that will mislead users - the Related Website Sets feature would reverse some of the privacy benefits of deprecating third-party cookies, and that Google’s justification for reintroducing this privacy harm

Customization

• disable ‘backspace’ key from navigating back a page - about:config and set browser.backspace_action to 2

Profiles

The real gem of Firefox is Containers. No other browser has something like this. It’s something critically missing from Chrome. - Using extra Firefox profiles to make my life better - Firefox has an extension called Temporary Containers that makes this better: Every new tab is a temporary, ephemeral container. By default I get isolation. I have it configured so if I hold Ctrl and click a link it will open in the same existing container (in a new tab). If I want sessions to “join” I can do that, but I get defense/privacy by default.
