These buttons on my tabs REALLY piss me off, how do I turn them off ?
These buttons on my tabs REALLY piss me off, how do I turn them off ?
I don't want a PLAY MUTE PAUSE not even a CLOSE button. Especially NOT when they have their own internal state for then they choose to appear and disappear.
I don't want to pay attention to them, I don't want to have to look for them, I don't want them getting in my way any more.
If I want to close a tab, I middle click it ! I already have global mute controls, I don't need an extra volume control, I don't have "tabs making unwanted sounds" problem because I have "Go To Sound Tab" addon installed, so I can easily find any tabs that makes sound and mute it correctly, without a extra, unneeded layer of muting (tab muting, versus app muting versus player muting, that is too many muting options, I don't want to use tab muting personnally so I want these buttons out of here !)
I don't want to have to rely on running violentmonkey script engine on top of my already sluggish browser when I barely have 6615 open tabs.
I want to disable the feature at the root, inside firefox, not patch up webpages like dark reader does.
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh h!!!!!!
Firefox is meant to be usable by people that have no idea what a middle click or an addon is. You are the exception, not the majority

Edit your userChrome.css file:
.tab-close-button.close-icon {display:none !important;} .tab-audio-button {display: none !important;}There should be a simpler solution to this tbf. Plasma had the exact same thing going on with their mute-app-buttons and their solution was a toggle for people who tend to missclick. I believe Chromium has one as well, at least Brave does for sure
It also doesn't work, because it's a patch, rather than turning off the whole system, so it gets overriden
I have the fix implemented and still
I've always wondered how to remove the audio button, so I'll use your code - thanks!
I don't suppose you know of any CSS to permanently disable the picture-in-picture mode for all websites?
You have no need for CSS for that, you can disable it in settings.
If a website directly invokes the Firefox PiP API (like Whatsapp Web) the button might still appear as it is added by the website, not the browser. For any website that instead don't invoke it (most websites), it will disappear as the browser was fully in control of it.
How are people who don't even know their scroll wheel is also a button supposed to figure out something that complicated ?
Why isn't that just a checkbox on the settings page ?
[X] Please make browser tabs harder to use by putting more buttons on it !Why is that imagined to be a "complicated weird thing people don't know they'd even want to do"
I wish software was more respectful of users' abilities instead of treating everyone has grandma's tech literacy level and make decisions for them !
There was no userChrome.css btw
So I made the file and put that code in
There has been no effects so I will have to reboot the browser.
So I'm pressing "reply" now so I don't lose this message ...
After restart
It only worked partially
I suspect youtube will eventually change something, and the rest of it will come back too
Thanks for trying though, but -> Firefox, this ISN'T good enough !
You turned what I said on its head. Nobody unskilled is doing this, and the buttons are there exactly because most people want them there and know nothing else. Including me, that knows about the shortcuts, prefer going caveman and click buttons on a screen. You are overestimating the base tech literacy of most humans, as most people have absolutely zero idea how to reach the settings page.
Try this one instead for the X button, before the audio button rule:
.tabbrowser-tab .tab-close-button { display:none !important; }And they are back despite the fix
They're intermittently there because the script is a patch but the underlying functionality has not been disabled.
Sometimes the page will override the script patch, and put unwanted buttons of my tabs,
so I end up closing and muting tabs by accident
EDIT: Also doesn't work because when a tab is open, userchrome.css does not apply until you actually click on the tab

allow me to introduce you to my co-workers that manage the state power grid, who sit in front of a computer for eight hours a day, never knowing what a keyboard shortcut is, or that pressing 'shift+tab' can move your text cursor to the previous field, or, indeed, that the mouse wheel is also a button...
