[SOLVED] Unhappy with firefox appearance

I installed the firefox that pacman offered me when i asked it to isntall firefox (i forgot which repo it came from, it was the "default" one though). Now it looks like this:
Notice the dark horizontal lines running across the entire window? They annoy me so much.
Is this caused by the branding issue? And more importantly, is there any way to change it?

There is a neat extension for Firefox which lets you use Oxygen themes (or at least make your firefox to look like that) with some default color schemes, it also includes some tweaks to make Firefox look more KDE-ish (or Konqueror-ish if you like)
It is found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/59338/
Also if you use the default oxygen theme you may want to try this persona:
https://addons.mozilla.org/hu/firefox/addon/31586/
You may also want to try this theme (or engine or whatever)
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Ox … ent=136216
This can be enabled somewhere in the KDE settings manager under GTK appearance.

  • Firefox crashes when opening any Adobe pdf document from internet. This only seems to happens with firefox 6.0.2. Pls assist how to solve problem

    Good day,
    Please note Firefox is crashing every time I tried to open a pdf document I find in any internet webside. This is happening since I have installed Firefox 6.0.2. I temporarily solved the issue going back to Firefox 5. The problem is that my Mac installs automatically all the updates that might come from Firefox, including new or greater versions.... So, here I am again with Firefox 6.0.2 and not able to open Adobe pdf documents.....
    Would you please kindly assist to fix this issue...? Please note I have systematically sent a report every time Firefox has crashed, so you might have quite a few by now!
    Many thanks in advance for all your help and assistance.
    Francesca.

  • Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - Aways saying Autofill not available for this page even on pages I have used it before FF4 upgrade

    Autofill in Google Toolbar does not appear to be working with Firefox 4 - It aways gives the message "Autofill not available for this page". This is happening on pages I have used Autofill on before upgrading to FF4 from Firefox 3.5.x

    i did not see a solution posted - I tired what I read. Going back to an old version may solve the problem but it is a stupid solution so I have yet to do that.
    I am on version 4 and autofil this does not work :
    Popular answer Go to this answer
    Uninstall version 5, then Google "google toolbar version 4", follow the link to FileHippo.com, and download and install the last version 4. When you reinstall it, make sure you turn off the option to perform automatic updates.

  • Flex2 (beta3) apps don't work with Firefox when browser scrollbars appear

    I ran into a very strange situation where my flex2 (beta2 and
    beta3) application is big enough to cause browser scrollbars to
    appear. In such a case, if I scroll the browser, then all button
    controls in the flex2 app can not listen to mouse events any more.
    I found this problem with Firefox (v1.5) in Windows XP. IE in XP is
    perfectly fine. Below is the code, simple enough to illustrate my
    situation. To test, please compile the first file into test.swf,
    and then access test.html form Firefox. Thanks.

    well i can say in dark,, many have done this solution, if its
    right even for u
    just clear ur cache using the ASO zip file available on
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?extid=1016963&view=sn111
    Now all the packages /missing file would get imported.could
    be some
    class definitions are'nt getting replaced
    (i faced this kinda problem before.. my old swf';s were
    getting played.. so i just cleared the cache and problem was
    solved)

    I've had this happen now and again. You can rebind the lease yourself with:
    $ dhcpcd --rebind
    You could also try increasing the timeout by adding
    TimeoutDHCP=
    to your netctl profile/s - see netctl.profile(5) as WonderWoofy suggests. Although I haven't tried the latter.

  • Names of downloaded files appear in Downloads Window only if that window is open during download. I run Firefox 4 on windows xp 32 bit sp3. I didn't have such problem with Firefox 3. Can somebody please help me?

    When I download a file with firefox 4 Downloads Window opens but downloading file name doesn't appear there. If I keep Downloads Window open further downloads appear in it but if i close it and reopen it again it appears blank, all downloaded file names are disappeared. I tried everything, unchecked "Remember download history" box and checked it again, deleted downloads.sqlite file, even created new profile but nothing helped.

    It is easy for me to explain things badly, and I can not see what you are actually doing, I will therfore try to list as steps to take.
    Please confirm that you have used firefox safe mode and still see the problem, by doing the following:
    # open firefox - use any profile
    # use '''Firefoxbutton -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled'''
    # you should now see an options dialogue with a list of check box options,
    #*you may get a confirmation option, if so accept it
    #* do you now see the listing of check boxes, with a continue button at the bottom
    #without making any changes, click the continue with safemode
    # firefox should now restart in safe-mode
    Now try the downloading, whilst we know you are in safe mode.
    # once a download has completed, use the option to open the containing folder that you see in your download manager
    ## does that option work ok,
    ## does it open a folder with downloads in it, make a note of the folders path/location/name
    ## do you see the downloaded file you just downloaded
    ## if so regardless of what the downloads folder says you have found the downloads
    ## close firefox and the folders with the downloads
    ## are you now able to reopen the 'containing' folder and find the downloads <br />( use Windows Explorer, not clicking on firefox, - firefox is closed)
    ## close the folder again
    ## open firefox, this time no need to be in safe mode
    ## look again for the containing folder whose name you noted down, does it still contain the downloads
    #'''IF''' you are getting problems now that you are in safe mode read the article about [[Unable to download or save files]]
    ## the article has several steps it suggests you try,
    ## please try all the steps in turn and report what happens with each step

  • How do I keep the name tags in Picasa Web Albums from appearing on the images by default? With Explorer, name tags only appear when mousing over the image, but with Firefox, all the tags appear on the picture as soon as it is loaded, which looks messy.

    I use Picasa to create web albums, and I tag people who appear in the pictures. With Explorer, the name tags do not appear on the pictures until I mouse over a specific person, at which point the tag appears. With Firefox, the name tags appear as soon as the picture is loaded, and only disappear when you mouse over the people in the picture. This makes the picture look messy; by default, one would want to see a picture without tags all over people's faces.
    The only way to "fix" this is to disable the name tags completely (or tell people to use Explorer!), but this is not an ideal solution, since I would like to be able to share albums with people's names in them.

    You can turn off compatibility checking, but more and more of the Google Toolbar will not work. Google is no longer supporting the Google Toolbar so you should use the alternatives.

  • I upgraded to Firefox 6 random websites are using illegible fonts from my computer instead of the default. No issues with Firefox 5 or any other browser I use. Each time I open Firefox or reinstall it a different illegible font appears. Please help.

    Firefox 6 using incorrect fonts.

    When I delete the font that keeps showing up as the default, a new illegible font appears. The fonts are not 'garbled' they are just decorative typefaces that are being grabbed from my computer. I have never had an issue with my fonts on old Firefox versions or other browsers like chrome, safari, etc., so I don't think the issue is my fonts. I also don't want to have to delete all the fonts off of my computer. I uploaded another photo of when I deleted the font that was appearing before. Please help if anyone has found a solution to this problem with Firefox 6+ :/

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

  • With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away

    With Firefox as my default browser for a desktop iMac, a note appears "An attempt to change your home page and default search has been blocked" It won't go away. It tells me to click on the checkmark to change settings but that doesn't work and the red x in the upper right hand corner doesn't remove the note which is in the upper left corner of my iMac ??? The only thing that removes the note is quitting Firefox but it reappear as soon as I start Firefox back up ???

    If that does not work,
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
    Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
