Fortunately, the custom CSS duplicates enough of the functionality of CTR to make Firefox look and behave much as I want it to. The weaker Chrome-style addons that (poorly) replaced the Firefox-type XUL/XPCOM addons couldn’t put back what Mozilla had removed. Of course, when the next thing that was lopped off of Firefox was the ability to use Firefox addons like CTR, that didn’t work anymore.

In its never-ending goal to be Chrome, Mozilla had removed features from Firefox that many of us consider essential, and Custom Theme Restorer let us have them back. I used Waterfox (which turned into Waterfox Classic) for a few years after the release of Firefox Quantum, but as its internal feature set was frozen at the Firefox 56 level, I began to have issues with it not working with some sites, so I reluctantly went back to Firefox proper.įortunately, I’d discovered modifications to userChrome.css by Aris, the author of Custom Theme Restorer.
