• Alt + Right Arrow You can go Forward
• Ctrl + L focuses the Navbar
• Ctrl + B shows you the Bookmarks
• Ctrl + H shows you the History Bar
• Ctrl + T Opens a new Tab
• Ctrl + W Closes a Tab
• Ctrl + Shift + T Re-opens a tab that you just closed
• Ctrl + R Refresh the page you're on
• Ctrl + Shift + A Quick open for Add-Ons

🎨 Customization

All the configuration will be managed in the userChrome.css file. And also all the code is commented so you can easily change values and colors as you like.

💛 Colors

In this section of the code you can change the colors, there's a window color and a tabs / urlbar color.

:root {
  --sfwindow: #19171a;
  --sfsecondary: #201e21;
}

🚧 URL Bar

You can show and hide the URL Bar (See the difference above) by commenting / uncomment the following section of code:

/*─────────────────────────────*/
/* Comment this section if you */
/* want to show the URL Bar    */
/*─────────────────────────────*/

.urlbarView {
  display: none !important;
}

/*─────────────────────────────*/

🔧 Recommended settings

• Right click on toolbar -> Customize.
  • Remove (as you want) all the removable elements including extensions, drag space and buttons.
• Install the SimpleFox add on theme.

🍱 Startpage

If anyone has the doubt, in almost all of the screenshots you can see a Startpage made for it. It's called Bento 🍱 and It's another project I made. It fits with the Firefox theme because It's done with the same principles: Minimalist, Simple and Elegant.

⛲ One line version: Cascade

Andreas Grafen has made an awesome work making a One Line theme inspired by SimpleFox. As it's work is awesome and allows you customization I can totally recomend it. Here you can find his repo: Link

⚠️ Notes

• As Firefox changed at version 88 introducing the Proton UI, all the old files and configurations moved to oldFirefox branch.
• Windows and MacOS are currently tested but may not be in the future.
• Some custom themes (And GTK themes in Linux) may break context menus.
