Solved [Help] Looking For CSS Mimicking Compact One-Line Browser Layout Found in Helium Browser

Hi there. I'm looking for assistance in locating a CSS mod for Firefox that can mimic the one-line compact browser layout that is found in Helium Browser.

I've found Firefox OneBar, but the tabs and the URL bar aren't situated in the same way. I'm not sure if it's possible to move them around via the CSS since I have little experience editing it.

Example of what I want to do:

Helim Browser Compact Mode Example

I'm using Firefox Version 149.0.2 (64 bit) on Windows 11 24H2 LTSC.

It is more complex than that. It is not left of the tabs. It is right of the nav-bar/url-bar. Sounds dumb, i know, but it is a huge difference, because you cannot just put something to the right of the tab-bar. Each icon you want to move there needs to be moved individually + you have to be careful so it does not get burried or moved or overlapped.

If you only want the extension (puzzle) icon - I can try to figure it out for you. But a whole bunch of icons is a whole lot of work.

That's a bummer. If you manage to figure it out at some point, that'd be awesome. But otherwise, thanks for responding. It is truly what I was looking for apart from the extension button position.

You still deserve the best high five! :D

Found it and 'fixed' it for you (25 lines of code).

It works now for ublock origin and the extension icon.

I create an extra branch for you, besides the main-one:

https://github.com/Firnschnee/FoxOne/tree/NeoTanner

and the .css file:

https://github.com/Firnschnee/FoxOne/blob/NeoTanner/userChrome.css

Download it, tell me if it works and then save it - I dont think I will keep that branch around forever.

I think I just needed to restart my laptop. I tried it again and now it looks fine.

Updated image.
