Transparent firefox background in firefox like the one in terminator ?

Hello,

my term is alsmost perfect for me (solarized with tmux and powerline) and with the use of the setting background set to Transparent background of None (0.0) I can even see a movie below my terminator (I use openbox with compton).

Now I would like to have the same for firefox, I did some digging and the solution could come from custom css with an rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0) but even with stylish I don't get to any usable place for any site at all...

Does anyone know a way for it ?

Thank you very much !!!

If you are trying to get Firefox to be transparent to the desktop it is not possible on Linux to the best of my knowledge (It may be possible on Windows Vista and newer due to supporting Aero). The CSS code you found is to make one DOM element transparent to another DOM element, not to make Firefox transparent to the desktop.

Chrome(ium) was the only browser that supported transparent themes through GTK before aura.
