Does anybody know how to get rid of these firefox menu ‘borders’?
What I’ve tried so far:
Black border around the ‘hamburger’ menu:
Solved:
PS: Big THANX @oberon for this great community edition 
Start here.
I tried all ‘default_border’ and ‘default_floating_border’ options, but to no avail.
hide_edge_borders (next paragraph)?
Yep, tried that as well - no luck…
EDIT:
for_window [class="firefox"] border pixel 0
Still not playing ball…
Looking again…did you resize that window?
Try this:
Go to $ws2. Open 2 terminals $Mod+enter (x2)
Screenshot.
Moving to Desktops & Window Managers/i3
That’s just my ‘gaps’ configuration. You can see the background image in the right bottom corner, but thanx…
Then you’ll need to play with the gaps settings in your config file.
Adding i3-gaps tag
It also shows when disabling gaps, but thanx for the suggestion.
Hi, it seems to be a Shadow problem with your compositor.
Try adding this : "class_g = 'firefox' && argb", inside shadow-exclude section of your picom.conf file.
Edit : didn’t reed you already disabled it, but imo it’s not a i3 problem but graphical bug (did you restart X after disabling picom ? What driver did you use for you graphic card ? ).
As it seems from the screenshot your in tabbed mode (default binding $mod+w)
So sure it will show these bars so you know what tabs are there and which one is active. Does it also occur when your is split mode (default binding $mod+e)?
If so could you provide your i3 config between ```
thx.
I’ve now edited post #1 to read “firefox menu ‘borders’” and a different screenshot in order to avoid further misunderstandings.
These borders appear only on certain dropdowns, the bookmarks dropdown for example doesn’t have a black border.
I see you have changed it.
Nevertheless without the config it is kinda hard to get where this is coming from.
I’ve added my i3 config to post #1. It’s basically default setting of the community edition. I only added top gaps for polybar.
try this
# i3 config file (v4)
## Look/Theme relevant entries
# set default desktop layout (default is tiling)
# workspace_layout tabbed <stacking|tabbed>
# Configure border style <normal|1pixel|pixel xx|none|pixel>
#set pixel all borders to 0 by default. You can break this rule with per app settings
for_window [class=".*"] border pixel 1
#default_border pixel 1 // removed because of default
#default_floating_border normal // removed because of default
# Hide borders default is none, so only need to set with vertical|horizontal|both|smart
# hide_edge_borders none
#for_window [class="firefox"] border pixel 1
# change borders
bindsym $mod+u border none
bindsym $mod+y border pixel 1
#bindsym $mod+n border normal
# Open specific applications in floating mode

It is also kinda double to set a default border and then also the same setting per app.
I tried the configuration for browser pop-ups first, but unfortunately that didn’t do it. I then tried
for_window [class=".*"] border pixel 0
and
for_window [class=".*"] border pixel 1
and also commented out
# hide_edge_borders none
but the border’s still showing.
I’ll play around more with the browser window types and see what gives.
Thanx
Hello could you try this :
in firefox type about:config in url and the in search bar type : layers.acceleration.force-enabled.
If it’s set to false, set it to true, then restart firefox, and did it again to set it to false then restart firefox.
Let me know if it solve your problem.
Thanx alot, that did the trick. I must have set it to ‘true’ while hardening my profile.
Also thank you to everyone trying to fix it.
One 1st world prob less…
