Search box distributed over whole screen

Since a few version, Firefox distributes the search box (crtl-f) over the whole screen.

The text fox is on the far left while the 'match case' and 'highlight all' settings are on the far right. To me, this seems very inconvenient and I wonder what the thought behind this is?

Is there a way to move the part of the text-search interface back together?

  1. Install Stylish and restart Firefox when prompted.
  2. Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons.
  3. In the Add-ons Manager, click User Styles on the left.
  4. Click the Write New Style button at the top. Paste the following in the text box, give the style a name, then click the Save button.

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

.findbar-closebutton {
  -moz-box-ordinal-group: 0 !important;
}

.findbar-container > spacer {
  display: none !important;
}

If you don't want to install an add-on, you can use the userChrome.css file instead, but I don't recommend it.

Thanks, that works. Can 'stylish'also be used to restore the proper 'reload'-page button?

You need the Classic Theme Restorer extension if you want to customize the Reload/Stop button and possibly move it to another position.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

  • You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
  • You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)
