Removing a tab-related toolbar from Firefox

I have used Firefox on Linux for years, and I hate tabs and never deliberately use them. Previously I set up a userChrome.css file with

  #tabbrowser-tabs { visibility: collapse !important; }

to eliminate the toolbar that displays open tabs even if I only have one of them. But now that I have Firefox 131, I find a new tab-related toolbar taking up space. Specifically, at the top of my Firefox window I see a title bar (good); then a menu bar with File, Edit, etc. (good); then this new toolbar; and then the location bar (good). The new toolbar contains nothing but a single icon, and hovering over this produces the explanation "List all tabs".

How can I get rid of this new toolbar? I tried using "Customize Toolbar" and dragging the one icon out of it, but this had no effect at all.

Thanks for your attention. --142.112.141.16 (talk) 05:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does this Mozilla support thread help? It suggests #TabsToolbar-customization-target { visibility: collapse !important; }. Card Zero (talk) 14:39, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That makes it go away even if I do have tabs (for example if I do Tools -> Add-Ons and Themes), but I can live with that. Thanks. --142.112.141.16 (talk) 07:11, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if these do exactly what you want, but there are also plenty of browser extensions for Firefox that let you add/modify all manner of browser behavior including tab behavior: get em at "AMO" as it's often abbreviated (this is the same place the browser pulls stuff from when you go to "Extensions"/"Addons" in Firefox's hamburger menu or in the old-school titlebar menu or browser's Settings screen). For stuff for working with browser tabbing search for "tab". Tab Mix Plus is one of the oldest and most venerable Firefox extensions—in fact it long predates WebExtensions, the original version being tightly-coupled into Firefox's source code, which no longer runs on modern Firefox builds, though the WebExt "alpha development version" is available for you to give a whirl if inclined --Slowking Man (talk) 15:40, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disabling 2FA

I have 2fa enabled on my android smartphone and need to disable it on one phone and renewable it on a new phone. I have access to the authenticator on the old phone and have access to the codes . My old phone is dying and need to enable it on the new phone. Can someone help change it to the new phone? fr33k man 16:57, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Which authenticator app are you using? Depending on the generation method and the app in question, it might be possible to export the seeds used to generate the codes. Otherwise, you'll have to log in to each account (?) that has 2fa enabled and switch them over to your new phone individually. FifthFive (talk) 17:51, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
