Firefox developers: Where's the checkbox that says "Don't display location bar page titles" or where's the config option of say, browser.urlbar.titledisp=0 etc. Come on, stop force-feeding hardcoded user interfaces to everyone.

It's driving me crazy!! So I opened Notepad, pasted the code, and renamed the file to "userChrome.css". Then, I copied it into Mozilla Firefox / defaults / profile / chrome because that was where I could find the "chrome directory of your profile folder." It worked for the title styling, which shrank to the same size as the URL. However, the colors stayed true: jet black title and bright blue URL. I even tried to use the code for crimson, then restarted Firefox, but the color wouldn't even tint!!!! Argh!! I seriously don't know where I went wrong. Please help me out. Thank you very much!

It doesn't auto-complete URL's the way FF2 did, or for that matter, the way IE, Safari and Opera do. Instead, it seems my bookmarks, search results and other stray pages I've visited are leaking into the address bar. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to upgrade to Netscape Navigator Gold?

Where it has [selected="true"], it uses closing-style quotation marks on both sides. If you copy and paste that, Firefox doesn't seem to like it. Best to change it to straight style quotation marks. Still a very useful tweak though. The reason Percy’s code makes selected text go totally blue is because of a small error.

Love the new search function in location bar, I really think it is a big improvement. But have to say I also find the default dropdown design to big. Couldn't really figure out what part of the code that does it, but for some reason, Percy Cabello (thread author) your code makes the results totally blue, when chosen, so you can't read them. The code from Timothy Babych's userstyle doesn't... Here is a image illustrating the matter: http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/5169/3differentlookscomparisvq4.png I experienced a bit and took the (in my opinion) best part from the two codes and made my own. Here is my code: .ac-comment { font-size: 100%! important; color: #333 ! important; } .ac-comment[selected="true"] { color: white !important; } .ac-url-text { font-size: 100% ! important; color: #000077 ! important; } .ac-url-text[selected="true"] { color: #FFFFFF !important; } Here is another image with a comparison of the 4 different color codes of the two scripts: http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/7249/the4colorscomparisonuy6.png Very nice tweak!
