1884452 - Provide about:config entry to disable changing of titlebar buttons in firefox for every themes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Leo_sk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Disable separate titlebar in Customize Toolbar
2. Change firefox theme to anything besides 'System theme - auto" or enable an extension like 'theme creator' that changes firefox's appearance.

Actual results:

The titlebar buttons change from whatever is system theme's to some hard coded one in firefox that don't match system theme.

Expected results:

While I recognise the need to use hard coded buttons with different themes for usability (since system's titlebar button may not be visible), at least some level of control must be handed to user. Even an about:config setting to disable firefox's hard coded buttons would suffice.
The only other alternative is to use legacy stylesheets, which is what I personally used for a long time, but its causing the buttons to glitch in latest nightly, and I didn't bother posting a bug for it since its deprecated anyways.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

That's because we changed the styling of them in bug 1560702, but you should be able to update the styles accordingly...

If we wanted to provide this, it's not super-hard... But not sure if
worth it.

I can just say that its a popular issue on reddit and lemmy and I nudge the users towards modifying userChrome.css . Ideally, i would prefer to not use legacy stylesheets at all
