Hi,

I am not sure how to ask this question so maybe telling you the history of what I did will help.

In one of the previous Quantum versions I wanted a different look for tabs and general layout. At that time I found a web page that covered what I was looking for. As I recall, there was some 'text' that I cut and pasted into a folder. That produced the layout you see in the attached screen cap image.

Since the Quantum versions have been updated I would like to remove the layout change previously installed and have the current traditional Firefox layout.

I have searched but am unable to find the original information.

Hopefully someone will be able to help me.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi

This is likely done via a userChrome.css in the chrome folder in the profile folder. You can remove this file to disable all CSS rules in this file.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Currently the only way to change the firefox looks are through userChrome.css edits. You can search online for firefox css edits to find one that will be what your looking for as well.

I found two userContent.css files and moved them to my desktop. Then restarted FF and it was just like out of the box.

Thank you both for helping me!
