Common Configurations​

Sidebery Tab Extension​

Having vertical tabs enabled in Firefox makes it easier to just hide the native tab bar and keep the other menus intact. The Sidebery extension is a good alternative to the native tab bar.

Hiding the Sidebar​

Add the following to userChrome.css:

#sidebar-box {
  display: none !important;
}
Auto Collapsing Sidebery Sidebar​
note

You must keep firefox-csshacks up to data to keep this working.

  • firefox-csshacks inside the chrome folder
  • Add the following to userChrome.css, replacing the above code: 
    @import url(firefox-csshacks/chrome/autohide_sidebar.css);

    #sidebar-main {
      display: none !important;
    }

    #sidebar-box {
      --uc-sidebar-width: 60px !important;
      --uc-sidebar-hover-width: 300px !important;
    }
  • You can change the --uc-sidebar-width and --uc-sidebar-hover-width values to your liking
