A very thin line has reappeared under the Active Tab in Firefox 123.0 when using CSS to create 'connected tabs' (i.e. no boundary between Active Tab and the Nav Bar).
This line had previously been removed in my own CSS styling by using your suggested fix in r/FirefoxCSS topic 'Connected tabs - Proton Tabs Tweaks'..."That's probably solved by simply adding .tabbrowser-tab[selected]{ position: relative; z-index: 1 }" ... however, this fix no longer works in Fx123.0... and not obvious what has changed from my efforts with the Browser Toolbox?
A hint of the problem had reappeared in Fx122... in which, when the browser window did not have focus, the Tab Bar darkened AND a thin line appeared under the active tab... until window focus was restored.
(EDIT - The reappeared Active Tab underline problem only existed if using the 'out-of-date' 25Oct23 version of MrOtherGuy's 'non_floating_sharp_tabs.css' style... the problem had already been fixed... and is NOT present in the current 24Jan24 version.)
The attached image shows the same problem also exists in your 'non_floating_sharp_tabs.css' AFAICS? The LH image is Firefox 123.0 + RH image of LibreWolf 122.0.1-2. (Both browser windows have focus. Both images of clean test profiles on Win10 with only your latest 'non_floating_sharp_tabs.css' style and the Gradient Blue theme added. The UI size has been increased by setting pref 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' = 2.5 to improve the image clarity o the two toolbars.)
Well, have you tried the code?
It might interfere with the css style, which is creating its own navbar shadow, but that might be (partially?) overriden by current Fx versions anyways. The issue has been discussed in a couple of other forums, seems like the code for that shadow has changed recently.
Again, maybe give this a shot, which has worked for some other users; to be safe put it at the bottom of your userChrome.css, shouldn't matter though:
@hansman: Yes... just tested your code posted above ( #nav-bar:-moz-lwtheme { box-shadow: none !important; } ). It works! Hurrahs and BZ! (Bravo Zulu). :D
So the reappeared underline is caused by some Tab Bar coding change in Fx123.0 Re: Active Tab shadow.
Code successfully removes the new 'Active Tab underline effect' in both my own custom CSS profile... AND with the example used in this thread... i.e. a clean profile with just MrOtherGuy's 'non_floating_sharp_tabs.css' style and NH0jNG's Gradient Blue toolbar theme added... see new image of that combination in a Fx123.0 test profile attached below... properly 'connected tabs' re-established. :)
PS. Would be interested to find and read comments where this problem mentioned elsewhere Re: your comment "The issue has been discussed in a couple of other forums, seems like the code for that shadow has changed recently."

Glad it's working!
As for discussions on it, I've linked to a couple in my first reply, and there's one in a German forum.
Credit for the solution goes to this poster; the related Fx code might be this one.
