To update without rebooting and live-editing userChrome.css
If you're writing the styles yourself, you can set up browser toolbox and edit the files directly in it without having to restart Firefox for changes to apply. (You still need to restart Firefox when creating userChrome.css). On top of being able >to live-edit userChrome.css, the browser toolbox is essential in figuring out how to add custom styling to various parts of Firefox.
You can find userChrome.css in the browser toolbox like this:
- Open browser toolbox
- Activate the Style Editor tab of the toolbox
- Type userChrome.css in the 'Filter stylesheets' box on the left
- Your userChrome.css appears on the right. Once you are done editing it, you can either close the toolbox which won't save your edits, or save edits by clicking the 'Save' link on the left.
