## What it is
Textfox is a Firefox theme built with userChrome CSS that gives the browser a minimal, TUI-inspired look with vertical or horizontal tabs. It is configured via CSS variables and a user.js preferences file, with an install script and a Nix home-manager module available.

## Use cases
- rice firefox with a minimal tui look
- enable vertical tabs in firefox with css
- customize firefox chrome styling
- theme firefox without hard-coded colors
- install a firefox theme via nix home-manager
- make firefox look like a terminal

## When to choose
- you want a minimal, terminal-inspired Firefox appearance
- you prefer vertical tabs and a clean chrome UI
- you want color scheme flexibility via Firefox Color
- you manage Firefox config declaratively with Nix

## When to avoid
- you need a fully featured browser UI overhaul with extensions
- you are not comfortable editing CSS or about:config settings
- you use a browser other than Firefox
- you want a one-click theme without touching profile directories
