Re: [Solved] FireFox Browser Login Problem

We had some issues with people not being able to login to our site, but it wasn't browser specific. Firefox was affected, but as you pointed out, due to disabling its ability to self-update or perhaps from use prior to it being able to update upon the next launch. :? Some members have a habit of leaving their computers on all the time with their browsers and other programs permanently left open. It's hard to imagine why, from my perspective, but it happens more often than you think. They don't want the inconvenience of waiting for something to open? :roll:

The other component was whether or not our site forced HTTPS. During the conversion days prior to getting that setting perfected (2019 - 2020), users would have problems when forum pages that would sometimes give them an HTTP page version. To fix that, we followed one or more of the topics on here about forcing HTTPS through a combination of the ACP's and .htaccess' rewrite settings, so that no matter what URL someone uses, they always get one that starts with HTTPS. It's been quite on that front ever since.

And since you're a Firefox user or for those who might see this topic and desire its browser tabs on bottom. If interested, please continue.

Version 113 changed things again, IMO idiotically forcing tabs at the top. But there is a simple solution to getting them placed at the bottom where they're easier and more intuitively associated with the focus of the current tab. It simply requires a few settings put back into Firefox, a directory and UserChrome.css file placed in the (Windows PC) user's Firefox Profile and a setting tweak.

C:\Users\jdoe\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xyz.default-release\chrome\UserChrome.css

The css file is a simple text file that ends with css instead of txt. The contents need to be updated to something resembling this.

Code: Select all

/* userChrome.css */
/* Classic layout that 86.4 percent of Firefox users actually want, with menu bar at the top, address bar, then bookmarks, then tab bar on bottom.  Modified from configs by u/ollietup https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/11odffm/psa_incoming_changes_to_default_element/  and MrOtherGuy to get the menu bar right, credited below. */

.tab-background {

}
.tab-line {
display: none;
}

.tab-close-button {
color: red!important;
}
I've adjusted this one, in particular, for my desktop computer to reduce scrolling. It scrunches the bookmarks down too so that there's less cell padding between rows. Mozilla gaps them with a lot of padding for touchscreen users. So it's something that is adjustable either way.

Lastly, with that file in the current Firefox directory, change Firefox's About:config - toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets value to TRUE

See paragraph here on how to do that.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1339095

Close/open Firefox!

Unsure if you prefer the original Tabs on Bottom legacy setting? Just change the Toolkit.legacy... value to false. ;)
