Post installation

A guide on how to set up Parfait after installation.

Suggested changes

Some stuff that you can do to get the most of Parfait:

• For those who want window transparency, use System theme — auto as your selected theme in about:addons.
  • Windows 11: In about:config, enable widget.windows.mica and set widget.windows.mica.toplevel-backdrop to 2 for the window to use Acrylic material.
  • macOS: Enable parfait.bg.transparent or lower your accent color opacity in about:config.
  • Linux: Use extensions like Blur My Shell to have window transparency and blur on Firefox.
    • Include firefox in the list of applications for the window blur effect. Adjust your window blur and opacity accordingly.
    • Enable parfait.bg.transparent in about:config, or lower your accent color opacity for this to take effect.
  • Using system light mode but want Firefox to be dark? Create ui.systemUsesDarkTheme with 1 to use dark mode without losing transparency.
• Linux: Enable widget.gtk.rounded-bottom-corners.enabled in about:config to apply rounded corners to the bottom part of the window.
• Windows: Enable widget.windows.uwp-system-colors.highlight-accent to apply your system accent color to text selection highlight.
• Firefox's sidebar expand on hover animation is very slow by default. You can make it expand faster by adjusting sidebar.animation.expand-on-hover.duration-ms to a lower value.
• If you don't mind losing context menu shortcuts using highlighted letters, set ui.key.menuAccessKey to 0 to remove lines under letters in the context menu (optional).
• Move the Sidebar button to the top leftmost of the window.
• Refer to Configuration for a list of all available Parfait preferences for further customization.

URL bar adjustments

For a better look and feel of the address bar, toggle these Firefox preferences in about:config:

• browser.urlbar.trimHttps → true
  • Don't worry, sites without HTTPS will have a red warning icon displayed.
• browser.urlbar.maxRichResults → 5
• browser.urlbar.suggest.recentsearches → false
• browser.urlbar.suggest.trending → false
• browser.urlbar.suggest.quickactions → false

For a more compact results list, you can toggle parfait.urlbar.results.compact to true.
