Show www and https in Chrome omnibar

[OBSOLETE the steady-state options are gone from Chrome – need to find another way]

To prevent chrome from removing “trivial” subdomains follow these steps:

  1. Go to: chrome://flags/#omnibox-ui-hide-steady-state-url-scheme-and-subdomains.
  2. Find “Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Scheme” and change it to Disabled.
  3. Find “Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Trivial Subdomains” and change it to Disabled.
  4. Click “Relaunch Now” .

Multi Row Tabs in Firefox Quantum

[OBSOLETE stopped working with firefox 71]

The Tab Mix Plus addon stopped working with v57 :-(

  1. Open about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true.
  2. Open a new tab on about:support
  3. Click the button next to “Profile Folder”
  4. Go to the “chrome” directory at the profile folder, or create it if it doesn’t exist.
  5. Create a file named “userChrome.css” (if it doesn’t exist) and open it in a text editor.
  6. Copy the css code from github.com/andreicristianpetcu/UserChrome-Tweaks
    (copy of the css is at the bottom of this post)
  7. Paste it into userChrome.css and save.
  8. Restart Firefox

Update for v58: Changed .tabbrowser-tabs to #tabbrowser-tabs.

Update for v65: Removed #titlebar related stuff
