Tweaks

Certain tweaks can be applied to the theme, to enable them navigate to about:config and create a boolean key for each tweak you want to use and set it to true.

To disable a tweak, set the key to false or delete it.


Floating/rounded tabs

Emulate the look of the rounded tabs feature available in Edge.

uc.tweak.floating-tabs


Rounded browser corners

Add padding and rounded corners around the browser window, as seen in the newest redesign of Edge.

uc.tweak.rounded-corners


Hide tabs toolbar

This hides the tabs toolbar when using a vertical tabs extension such as Sidebery, Tree Style Tab or Tab Center Reborn.

uc.tweak.hide-tabs-bar

Optionally, the window controls can be hidden from the navbar by using:

uc.tweak.hide-tabs-bar.no-window-controls


Sidebery Theme

Enables the Sidebery extension sidebar theme, can be used with or without the hide tabs toolbar tweak. For a preview of the Sidebery theme, see the macOS screenshot in the Screenshots section.

Setup

Download and install Sidebery from the Firefox addons store.

On Linux the colour theme may not work properly. To fix this, you can enable the "auto: dark/light" colour scheme option inside Sidebery (though this will disable the custom Firefox theme colours, and only use system light/dark colours).

To open the Sidebery settings page, find its icon in the toolbar or in the extensions menu, then right-click it and select 'Open settings'.

<!-- Use <details> for collapseable section. --> <details> <summary>Recommended settings</summary> </details>

Alternatively, you can import the provided sidebery.json configuration file, but this will restore Sidebery to the default settings before applying it.

Remove extra space at the top of the window

New tab page background image

uc.tweak.newtab-background


Hide forward button

Hide Firefox logo on New tab page

Hide the Firefox logo + wordmark when on the new tab page.

uc.tweak.hide-newtab-logo


Force tab colour to match the toolbar colour

Removes the ability for custom themes to change the colour of the selected tabs, instead forcing them to match the toolbar colour. This can be useful when using themes designed for the Firefox's default Proton style.

uc.tweak.force-tab-colour


Show context menu navigation buttons vertically

Displays the navigation buttons (Back, Forward, Reload, Bookmark) in the right-click menu vertically like all the other menu items.

Hide access keys in context menu

Removes the underlining or highlighting of certain characters in the context menu. These underlines correspond to the key that when pressed, activates the item.

<!-- Using <ins> for underline as GitHub does not support <u>. -->

For example, "<ins>U</ins>ndo" becomes "Undo" and "Inspect (Q)" becomes "Inspect".

uc.tweak.context-menu.hide-access-key


Remove separators between tabs

Removes the vertical separating lines between the tabs, resulting in a cleaner look.

uc.tweak.remove-tab-separators


Always show tab close buttons when hovering over them

When the tabs become too small, Firefox will hide the close buttons for non-active tabs to save space. This tweak will always display the close buttons when hovering over a tab.

uc.tweak.show-tab-close-button-on-hover


Use Firefox's default context menu font-size

This reverts the custom font-size set on the context menu, only applies to Windows users.

Disable the custom Edge-themed context menu and use the default Firefox menus.

uc.tweak.revert-context-menu

uc.tweak.context-menu.hide-firefox-account


Compact Extensions Menu

Makes the unified extensions menu more compact, and closer to the design seen in Edge. This hides the permissions indicator label and makes the icons smaller.

uc.tweak.context-menu.compact-extensions-menu


Hide tab close button

Hide the close button on tabs. "Ctrl + W" and mouse middle click can still be used to close tabs.

uc.tweak.hide-tab-close-button
