Install a Material Design inspired theme in Firefox

The post Install a Material Design inspired theme in Firefox appeared first on BardTech.

MaterialFox is a user-designed theme for Firefox that turns the Firefox web browser into a material-design inspired browser.

Firefox users have two main options when it comes to changing the default theme of the browser. Starting with Firefox 57 Stable and Firefox 60 ESR , the options are to install themes from the official Mozilla extensions website or to apply custom styles to the browser.

The option to install full themes that could change any part of the browser interface is no longer available as of Firefox 57 and Firefox 60 ESR. The best option to modify the Firefox interface is through the use of styles and CSS but it appears that it is not possible to upload these interface changes to Mozilla’s official repository.

Note: MaterialFox has been optimized for Firefox on Mac OS X. While you can install the theme on Windows or Linux devices, expect some quirks that the developer needs to iron out in future releases.

Installation of the theme is a bit more complicated than hitting the install button on the Mozilla website. While that is the case, it is the only option to make certain modifications in Firefox as themes can’t be used for that.

Here is how you install the theme in Firefox:

Go to the project’s GitHub page and download the entire project with a click on “clone or download” and the selection of “download ZIP”.
Extract the archive on your system using built-in unzipping functionality or by using programs such as 7-Zip or Bandizip . If you want to know more about 7-Zip or Bandizip check out our reviews of recent versions.
Open Firefox, type about:support and there on the “open folder” button to open the profile folder on the hard drive. You may use about:profiles instead for that.
Copy the entire chrome folder into the Firefox profile folder if “chrome” does not exist.
- If a chrome folder exists, you may have made modifications to Firefox in the past using the userChrome.css file. You could copy the content of the MozillaFox userChrome.css file and paste it at the end of the existing userChrome.css file in the Firefox profile folder. Note that you may run into dupes if you do depending on the CSS that is already in the file.
- You do need to copy all other files that are in the MaterialFox chrome folder to the Firefox chrome folder.
Load about:config?filter=svg.context-properties.content.enabled and the set the preference to true with a double-click.
Install the Firefox extension Simple new tab button .
Select Menu > Customize.
Remove the “new tab button” on Firefox’s tab bar using drag and drop.
Move the new tab button of the Simple new tab button extension to the rightmost location on the tab bar of the browser. This places the new tab button at a fixed location on the rightmost side of the tab bar in Firefox.
Restart Firefox.

Firefox should open up in the new Material Design look. The theme styles the titlebar and browser toolbox only at this point in time. The developer may release new versions of the theme that style other browser areas such as the right-click context menu.

Now You: Do you use themes or modifications in Firefox or your browser?

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
