Is it possible to configure when the pointer changes from arrow to hand? I'm talking about the interface, not web pages. For example, when hovering over Firebug's icon, the pointer turns into a hand but on greasemonkey, stylish and gmail manager it stays arrow shaped.

I'd like it to turn into hand on all active places: - addon mini-icons - tabs - bookmark buttons in the personal bookmark toolbar

is this possible?

Put the following in your userChrome.css file:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

toolbarbutton,
.tabbrowser-tabs *,
statusbarpanel image,
.statusbarpanel-menu-iconic {
    cursor: pointer !important;
}

You can find your userChrome.css file at YourProfileDir/chrome/userChrome.css where YourProfileDir means:

  • %APPDATA%/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile name]/ for Windows
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/[random string].default/ for Mac OS X
  • ~/.mozilla/[Linux Login Name]/[random string].slt/ for Linux

If the file doesn't exist, create it.

Perfect for toolbar and tabs, is there a selector for addon icons (those on bottom right) too? Thanks – Matteo Riva Feb 9 '10 at 10:41
Yep, I've edited the answer to include those. I used the DOM Inspector extension to figure out the selectors. – monov Feb 9 '10 at 10:51
Thanks a lot, works perfectly. One last thing, is there a way to tell Firefox to reload userChrome.css other than closing and restarting it? – Matteo Riva Feb 9 '10 at 11:05
Not that I know of but do tell me if you find a way! – monov Feb 9 '10 at 11:08

@kemp, if you have stylish install just add it as a stylish script. No need to touch userChrome.css – Sam Hasler Feb 9 '10 at 16:20
