For some hours i had updated to Firefox 4 and absolutely dislike the new default design of the tabbar.

I search on the web and find a little workaround, modificated by me.

Get started now:

Edit the "userChrome.css" in the following directory:

%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<Profilordner>\chrome\

If there is no "userChrome.css" you must duplicate and rename the "Chrome-example.css" to "userChrome.css" in the same directory.

Copy and paste the code above.

Then restart your Firefox.

Important: You must use the default theme/persona in Firefox.

If you have any questions: feel free to ask.

I am trying to get this to work with a specific color, due to my own style using that color. I changed the third line

background-color: -moz-Dialog !important;

to

background-color: #1b1b1b;

But its not transparent now.

I think i have some ideas on how to fix it but help would be appreciated.
