Firefox Maximise Tab Width

1. Enable userChrome customisation in about:config

  1. Navigate to about:config in the address bar and accept the risks.

  2. Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and toggle it to true (by double clicking on it).

2. Locate and open your profile folder

Either of the following two methods work:

  • Using the Firefox troubleshooting page

    1. Click on ☰ ➝ Help ➝ Troubleshooting Information or navigate to about:support in your address bar
    2. Under Application Basics, click on the the Open Folder button. You should now see your profile folder.
  • Using the Firefox command line

    1. Press Shift+F2
    2. Enter the command folder openprofile

3. Create the folder and its files

  1. Inside your profile folder, create a new folder named chrome (all lower case)

  2. Inside the chrome folder, create two new files, userChrome.css and userContent.css (case sensitive)

4. Populate the files

  1. At the top of userChrome.css, add the following code. This tells the browser that this stylesheet is meant for XUL, the markup language Firefox is written in.
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

  2. add the following code below. This tells the browser to use 100% tab width.
    .tabbrowser-tab[fadein]:not([pinned]):not([style*="max-width"]) { max-width: 100% !important; }
