Usage

Install

Step 1 - Download files

Step 2 - Configure extensions

  • Install Userchrome toggle Extended

    <details><summary>Configure Userchrome toggle Extended</summary> <br/>

    You need to turn on "Allow multiple styles to be active together" and turn on the first four toggles. If you will be using a popup, enable "Close popup after clicking toggle" and rename the toggles for convenience. Play with the rest of the settings as you wish. Make sure you click "Apply changes" button after all

    settings

    It would also be nice to customize the shortcuts for toggles. I recommend these:

    how-to shortcuts

    <br/> </details>
  • Install Sidebery

    <details><summary>Configure Sidebery</summary> <br/>

    If you used Sidebery before, it would be better to reset its settings to default.

    Then import sidebery-settings.json from unzipped theme files

    import

    <br/> </details>

Step 3 - Moving files to a profile folder

  • Find your profile directory

  • Close Firefox

  • Move chrome folder and user.js file from unzipped theme files into your profile directory

    <details><summary>Profile folder structure</summary> <br/>
    {random characters}.default-release // Profile folder itself
    |_ chrome // chrome folder you put in
    |  |_ userChrome.css
    |  |_ userContent.css
    |  |_ ShyFox
    |  |  |_ ... // css files
    |  |_ icons
    |  |  |_ ... // svg icons
    |  |_ wallpaper.png
    |  |_ wallpaper-light.png
    |_ user.js // user.js file you put in
    |_ ... // a lot of files that was there before
    
    <br/> </details>
  • Open Firefox

Step 4 - Buttons layout

  • Go to the customizing page. <img src="https://github.com/Naezr/ShyFox/assets/95460152/49d963a3-ccb4-48f9-8892-f206894315d7"> > More tools > Customize toolbar

  • Move buttons to something like that:

    <details><summary>Customizing menu</summary> <br/>

    layout

    NOTE
    If you don't add Flexible Space to the right toolbar, all buttons except Menu and Extensions will be centered on the panel

    <br/> </summary>

[!NOTE] System theme - auto can cause problems in some cases

Upgrading

  • Migrate from old version

    <details><summary>Migrate from 2.0 </summary> <br/>

    If you migrating from 2.0 you need delete fx-autoconfig.
    To do it, at first clean up chrome folder, at second delete config.js and /defaults/prefs/config-prefs.js from Firefox installation folder.

    </details> <details><summary>Migrate from 3.4 </summary> <br/>

    If you migrating from 3.4 you need to reset Sidebery settings to default and import new ones.

    </details>
  • In other cases redo the installation steps 1 and 3 is enough for updating to new ShyFox version

There are three ways you can do it, choose one:
