Important

Firefox 157 and later enable Nova UI by default. To restore Proton's smaller corners, set uc.flex.style-tab-items-border-radius = 1 and uc.flex.style-toolbar-items-border-radius = 1.

FlexFox has ended support for Firefox ESR 140 in line with Firefox's support schedule. Firefox ESR 153 is now the minimum supported version.

FlexFox no longer supports legacy pre-v6 styles left in Sidebery's Styles editor. Before updating, remove the old FlexFox styles from the Sidebar and Group Page tabs. See the upgrade instructions for details.

New

• Added uc.flex.increase-sidebery-hover-trigger-width to make fully hidden Sidebery and native vertical tabs easier to reveal on multi-monitor setups. It widens the edge-hover area to 22px in maximized windows and F11 fullscreen mode.

  Disabled by default because the wider area may interfere with clicks near the webpage edge. Fine-tune the width with --uc-sidebar-hover-trigger-width in custom CSS.

Improvements

• Reworked the built-in PDF viewer so its top toolbar and sidebar float and auto-hide independently. Both support translucent backgrounds with Mica, wallpapers, or uc.flex.enable-translucent-urlbar-popup-and-menus. Adjust transparency with uc.flex.browser-*-transparency-level.

  

• Unified container tab indicators in Sidebery and native vertical tabs. Regular tabs use short right-side markers that move with their titles, while pinned tabs use short bottom lines. Indicators remain visible above tab borders.

  

• Smoothed the hover transitions of the pinned-tab and sidebar-tool separators in native vertical tabs.

Breaking Changes

• Moved FlexFox's preference file from the repository root to config/user.js. For full-repository installations inside a Firefox profile, this prevents Git updates from restoring user.js at the profile root and resetting customized preferences on startup.

Fixes

• Fixed a v7.0.0 regression that prevented active pinned tabs in Sidebery from showing gradient borders.
• Fixed Nova UI's rounded corners hiding Sidebery container tab indicators.
• Fixed square URL bar buttons when Nova UI was disabled and uc.flex.style-toolbar-items-border-radius = 2 was used.
• Fixed PDF pages becoming unscrollable with the sidebar open after Firefox 150 changes. Bug 2020258
• Fixed the PDF toolbar becoming fully transparent after Firefox 157 changes. Bug 2063405 Bug 2069497
• Fixed incorrect URL bar button spacing after Firefox 158 changes. Bug 2074921
• Fixed gaps in the URL bar popup background and incorrect result-row corners after Firefox 159 changes. Bug 2052926
• Fixed incorrect URL bar search mode switcher colors after Firefox 159 changes. Bug 2068504
• Fixed Quick Actions buttons being clipped in centered URL bar popups after Firefox 159 changes. Bug 2074871
