Do you prefer your navigation bar with small icons, but want to get button borders back? Install this style, and switch to Large Icons mode.

This style makes the navigation bar buttons in Large Icons mode look like those in Small Icons mode from FF7, reducing the toolbar height and resetting the style of the back button.

When bug 671553 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671553 was put into Firefox 8, the toolbar button style in Small Icons mode was removed. This style allows users to get that look back by switching to Large Icons mode, without the disadvantage of lost vertical space.

This style is intended to work with the default theme for Firefox 8+ on Windows Vista/7.
To use this style, install Firefox and Stylish.

V2.0 - 2012-02-08 - Updated to work with Firefox 10 and its magic self-hiding back button. For the older version, use the customization options.

This style forces the navigation toolbar and its buttons to be a fixed height, so this mod will not play well with other themes or styles that change the size of the toolbar or toolbar buttons, especially the Back and Forward buttons.

The color of the border around the Back button and the glow effects on the Back/Forward buttons do not perfectly match the style of other toolbar buttons because of the amount of hackery involved in resetting their properties. If you can provide a fix, please contact me!
