My screenshot doesn't work. That's weird. I click on browse then click reply. I don't know why.

The close button comes from this SVG image:

  • chrome://global/skin/icons/close.svg
  • chrome://global/skin/global.css

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.close-icon:hover {
 background-image: -moz-image-rect(url("chrome://global/skin/icons/close.svg"), 0, 16, 16, 0) !important;
 background-color: #ccc !important;
}

You can set the background color to a color of your choice to see at least a hover effect that the button is active.


The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Can't I remove the hover affect at all? The older versions didn't have that.
