Chaning userChrome.css Navigation bar width value causes issues
Closed this issue · 5 comments
I used this theme because it is really good, however when changing the values inside of the userChrome.css - /* Navigation bar width, what remains is taken up by the tab bar */
Firefox always breaks. It was the only value that I had modified (20vw -> 18wv) and when I restarted Firefox, the bookmark bar would not display any bookmarks or autohide. Webpages would not display at all and it was unusable.
Also I needed to shorten the actual URL bar to make it smaller as well so I used this code
#urlbar-container{
max-width: 400px !important;
min-width: 400px !important;
}
This code and changing the values causes the problems but I do not know why
An important remark is that I fixed this my DELETING the userChrome.css file in my Firefox profile folder and restarting Firefox. REPLACING it with a brand new file from github did not fix the problem. I have recreated this problem several times.
I tested that value with any number from 0-100, plus i also see you have a typo in your post "20vw -> 18wv". If you broke your profile you can try to troubleshoot mode with about:support and clearing cache. I hope its just a typo but i will look into it, and i also plan to release a few improvements in the next day, the navbar width being one of them.
Yes fixing the typo was part of it, but the bookmark bar stopped auto hiding. The code might be conflicting with the other parts.

Deleting the extra code that I added also does not fix it even though it is what caused it. The way that I temporarily fixed this is by toggling Firefox in safe mode on and off. I have disabled all extensions and the issue still persists when changing the value. Clearing startup cache does not fix it either.
The only time i bricked a profile like that was when i put nav & control buttons inside Customize view and restarted. Not sure what you did to userchrome to brick it in that way. Anyway i pushed an update that has an extra value dealing with nav width, maybe it helps with what you want. This time i suggest you experiment with a new tester profile beforehand. Going to sleep now, good luck.

This new value solved my problem! Thank you so much!
