Tree style tab custom CSS with auto-hide

1. Install Tree Style Tabs Firefox extensions.
2. Install userChrome.css (see file content below below)
   • Linux
     • cd to ~/.mozilla/firefox/[your profile id].default/
     • create folder chrome if it doesn’t exist
     • put userChrome.css in it
   • Windows
     • press Win+R
     • insert %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ and press enter
     • select your profile, most probably it will include release substring
     • create folder chrome if it doesn’t exist
     • put userChrome.css in it
3. Turn on userChrome. about:config => toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets => True.
4. Disable animation. Preferenes ➡ Add-ons ➡ Tree Style Tab ➡ Appearence ➡ Disable animation.

Thank you, unknown reddit user, who wrote this. I’ve updated your css file, but all credit goes to you.

As of Firefox v133, for the sidebar unhide on hover to work, it needs the z-index on line 51 to be 3 instead of 1. Cheers!

Heyo, any way to add the window buttons back in the toolbar? Not as a separate bar over it? (close window, maximise window, etc...)

Heyo, any way to add the window buttons back in the toolbar? Not as a separate bar over it? (close window, maximise window, etc...)

Ok, found a work-arround using theses extentions:
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/movable-window-close-button/
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/movable-window-maximize-button/

I then manualy moved them on the toolbar to match normal windows.

Aditionaly, I moved the burger menu from the top right to the top left:

To do so, I added this to the UserChrome.css

#PanelUI-button {
  order: -2 !important;
  margin-right: -15px !important;
}

Hope this helps someone!
