I want some help please.
I am using this code in userChrome.css to make tabs look more slim:

/* Change the tab-bar height */
tab {height: 23px !important; }
.tabbrowser-strip { height: 25px !important; border-bottom: none
!important; }

The problem is that it doesn't work anymore. I am in a brand new
profile, no extension, no nothing and this isn't working.

This is what I have in userChrome.css there are many different ways
of doing the same thing, so I don't know if you are missing something
in what you have.
/* Change width of tabs, hgt ...*/
.tabbrowser-tabs *|tab {
height: 18px !important;
min-width: 18px !important }Actually my entire userChrome.css (copy not neccessarily current)

You may want to use the DOM Inspector (one of Firefox's optional components,
invoked -- if installed -- by Ctrl-Shift-I or by Tools => DOM Inspector) to
determine exactly which selector to use. It has a particularly useful "point
and shoot" tool.


Best regards,
Tony.

I tried everything and it doesn't work.
The thing is if I use max-height it does slim down the tab, but ugly as
hell and the tabbar (tabbrowser-strip) remains the same. I have no idea
why is not working.

It does work with Winstripe FF Classic theme. Hmmm...it's beyond me for now.

I don't see tabbrowser-strip. The usual selector to access the tab bar is
.tabbrowser-tabs. Did you try the DOM Inspector?


Best regards,
Tony.

Of course. Look, this where I found .tabbrowser-strip

The thing is that I can stretch the tab, but I can't slim it. And I can
see that it reads my CSS rules.
Anywho, thanks for your time and if you have any ideas please...

Ah, yes, now I see it, even in my own DOMi. And no, I don't have any ideas,
other than trying to apply the style rule at a different (parent or child)
level...


Best regards,
Tony.
