  1. Almost all Stylish tweaks could also be loaded via Greasemonkey so you don't need to install another extension.

  2. Thanks so much for featuring one of my styles.

    I look forward to your thoughts.

    I’m looking for a way to make Firefox’s bookmarks bar like Google Chrome’s when it’s not in “always show” mode. You know, where it only shows up on new tabs. It’s so much more aesthetically pleasing than an extension like Fast Dial.
