- Weiß jemand, wie ich diese Drecks-Randleiste von Microsoft Edge wegbekomme? Habe schon fast alles versucht und rumgegoogelt, aber nichts hat geholfen. Ich krieg die Krise.

Vertical tabs bar that supports grouping and auto expansion/ shrinking on hover. (Like MS Edge)
I am trying to style the tab bar for Firefox to look like Edge browser's grouped vertical tabs. I am not very good at CSS and was trying to find a similar ready styling to use or easily edit, unfortunately, I couldn't. The closest thing was Vertical tabs for Firefox, inspired by Edge but it doesn't support tab grouping. Is there any other CSS I can try?

White close/minimize/maximize buttons after update (using vertical tabs CSS)
I use this CSS code with Tab Center Reborn to get vertical tabs. Unfortunately, the last FF update broke things (again). My close/minimize/maximize buttons are white and my back/forward buttons are gone. The author usually updates the CSS code quickly, but since I'm on an OLED display, I don't want a huge white rectangle on my screen.

qbrt
- Mozilla QBRT, a tool to create desktop apps with Gecko (Firefox rendering engine) similarly to Electron, has not been updated in years. Don't let it fade into obscurity, Electron is a resource hog!

Building a Desktop Application for Datasette
I assume they meant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XULRunner, which was Mozilla's spiritual predecessor to Electron.
Some abandoned modern alternatives included Positron[1][2] and qbrt[3][4].
While technically possible using Firefox's XULRunner functionality (`firefox --app app.ini` — mostly undocumented, potentially unsupported in the future), as far as I can tell, Mozilla has abandoned the Electron approach for XUL/Gecko bundling, which is a shame since Firefox itself is basically just an implementation on top of the Gecko XUL runtime.
> "[Firefox] is distributed as the combination of a Gecko XUL runtime — libxul, other shared libraries, and non-browser-specific resources like those in toolkit/ — plus a Firefox XUL application — mostly just the files in Contents/Resources/browser/, plus the 'firefox' stub executable that loads Gecko and points it at a XUL application" [5]

Firefox 91 Release Notes
The issue with this is that the more deeply customisable a fork would be the further it would stray from upstream (and by extension the more dev resources it would require to maintain).
> I keep hearing the Firefox codebase isn't very modular and makes it hard to pursue such a project, and I don't doubt it. But aren't there enough of "us" out there to make a concerted effort?
There's been plenty of people making such an effort, but yeah it does appear to be "hard". If you're interested in following previous work, some relevant links:

- https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/ (official but Android-only)

It may also be worthwhile reading about CEF which has become something of a defacto standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework
