I'm used to some settings of the old firefox (56) and I want to know how you can get them back.

1. I do not want to see any icon when I open a new tab. But even when I turned off all the items related to this in about:config, I still see the fox icon there. How to fix it?

2. How to make a new tab open to the right of the current open, but not at the end of the list of tabs?

3. How do I make a new tab open by double-clicking on the current tab? Perhaps there is a code for userChrome.sss. Could you help me with this?

Thank you very much for your help.

When using extensions about:newtab and about:blank both on restarting, they open without a title. Without an extension, they open with a fox icon and a title. And I just wanted that there was a title, but there was no icon. It is a pity that for such a powerful browser as Firefox it is impossible to do.

Who said that was impossible? You chose a different path and never followed up on my earlier comment:

1. I do not want to see any icon when I open a new tab.

A custom style rule in userChrome.css probsbly could hide the icon. Someone will need to dig into the details of how to identify the "New Tab" tabs in a way that works for CSS.

So for example:

/* 
    (1) Hide generic Firefox icon on any tab; 
    (2) Hide icon on tabs with the label "New Tab" 
*/
.tabbrowser-tab .tab-icon-image[src="chrome://branding/content/icon32.png"],
.tabbrowser-tab[label="New Tab"] .tab-icon-image {
  display: none !important;
}

Oh, the page in the blank tabs is about:blank? I don't think I've ever closed Firefox with an about:blank page open.

To constrast, in the session history file:

  • Built-in new tab page:
    • url: about:newtab
    • title: New Tab
  • The about:blank page:
    • url: about:blank
    • title: about:blank

There's no "New Tab" title in the session history data for about:blank, so that probably explains why the tab doesn't say "New Tab". I don't know why it doesn't say about:blank, but the blankness does convey that information...

Very good! This is what I needed. Now my interface really looks very similar to version 56 and I'm almost ready to switch to Quantum! Thank you for your help!
