Maintainer wanted

Looking for someone willing to take over maintainership of the project.

What is Technetium?

A focused approach to taming the new Firefox 89+'s Proton design, restituting some elements retired alongside the old Photon UI

It gets its name from Technetium-99m, agent used for Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography

What has been changed?

• Icons have been reintroduced, in a smaller menu
• Compact mode has been re-enabled
• Close-tab icon is always displayed, regardless of the number of open tabs
• Speaker icon always visible on tabs reproducing A/V content
• I wish to thank the Lepton's developer, whose work served as a base for my less radical restyling

How to apply Technetium to your Firefox?

• Enter about:config in your URL bar; search for the parameter toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and make sure it is set to true
• Now enter about:support in your URL bar
• Find the Profile Directory entry and click the Open Directory button
• Copy in that folder the user.js file and the chrome folder from the Technetium release package
• In about:support, click Clear startup cache...

Screenshots

Really missing tab separators?

They can sure be restored, by adding this code before the last } in userChrome.css
