How to make ALL TABS identical in appearance to PINNED TABS via the UserChrome.css file?

Basically I am seeking a way to shrink the normal tabs in Firefox to ONLY include the favicon like the pinned tabs while keeping the same margin and padding. I don't want to see the tab text just the site favicon. If someone could post the userchrome.CSS code to make all the tabs identical to the pinned tabs in appearance, I would be forever grateful.

Thanks to the Firefox community for this kickass browser!

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

You can try to adjust the padding-left. The padding-left for pinned tabs is set via the Density setting in customize.

.tab-content:not([pinned]) {
 padding-left: 12px !important;
 padding-right: 0px !important;
}

You can try the following userChrome.css code:

/* Removes text from tabs */
.tabbrowser-tab .tab-label {
	display:none !important;
}

/* Resizes tabs to minimum width */
.tabbrowser-tab:not([pinned]) {
	max-width: 50px !important;
	min-width: 50px !important;
}

It's not perfect, but you can play around with the width values to get something that suits your needs the best.

Hope this helps.

Note that Firefox also has a pref to set the min-width.

cor-el, thanks but it doesn't shrink the tab width enough.

Thanks for the response. Min/Max width of 40 seems to work best but for some reason, there is still about 8pixels of padding to the right of the favicon. I set the padding to 0 pixels under your min/max width rules but it doesn't affect it. Attached images are pinned and non pinned tabs.

Any thoughts?

Hi ffuser88, if you haven't already discovered the Browser Toolbox for poking around in the UI (Inspector tool), you might find it handy:

Had to change the width to 41 but this completes it. Thank you so much! I've been trying for weeks to get this to work. I should of posted sooner.

Thanks again to everyone that responded and jscher2000, I'll check it out, thanks.
