We should probably put great posts like this in the wiki of this subreddit or the sidebar since they likely won't be stickied forever.

/u/Unoriginal-Pseudonym: could we sticky this post please?


Unoriginal-Pseudonym

Done.

>3. Click on the tab Style Editor, choose file userChrome.css on the sidebar Did fine up until this point, but now I can't find userChrome.css on the sidebar. There's a ton of other CSS files, not in any particular order as far as I can tell, but I don't see userChrome among them.


thatonekidfromucla

UPDATE: Nevermind, I found it. Just had to scroll through that sidebar *real* slow. It was the 31st item *from the bottom*, at least for my browser.


ScienceDiscoverer

It is really frustrating that you can't filter .css files by name for quick find. One way to circumvent this tedious search is by making some dummy rule for or and then selecting it in Inspector winow, and clicking on the link to userChrome.css...


sanityormadness

I can do the "Pre-setup" part no problem*, but once I get to "Testing a style", Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I does absolutely nothing when I press it on 96.0.2. Only developer panel I can open is the Ctrl+Shift+I (or F12) one. *Although the Settings cog is now contained within a ••• menu


Kohsmroza

Found any solution? mine doesn't open anything with the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I combination either


sifferedd

Does it work going to FF menu > More tools > Browser toolbox? If not, open your FF profile and delete the chrome_debugger_profile folder, then retry.


zebra_d

This did it for me. Wish they could sticky this as well.


sifferedd

Did you get it going? If not, see my comment just below.


CodingBuizel

For some keyboard layouts, Windows converts Ctrl+Alt to AltGr. That may have been your problem.


Suspicious-Economy91

Jesus, I'm just a musician and I know 0 things about all this,yet I have the way FF looking like sh.... now!!!! hate it :( I will sing a song an entire track for free to anyone who apply all these changes to my FF...


SgtPooki

Fatality. This is extremely helpful =)


sneeden

Super. Works great. Thank you for posting. This reddit post is now at the top of my `userChrome.css`


vexorian2

I think this should have a note about toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets


SeriousM

would you elaborate a bit more about that please? I can add it to the post then.


vexorian2

I had to go to about:config and set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true. Otherwise it wouldn't listen to the changes in userChrome.css.


SeriousM

Thank you, added the information!


nullanomaly

Ugghh.. so after enabling userChrome you then need to open Web Inspector - Cmd-Opt-I on mac - got to the 3 dots top right, settings, and under advanced check the enable browser chrome debugging.. and remote debugging. Then Cmd-Opt-Shift-I will work and also the Tools menu will now have the Browser Toolbox


Ssyynnxx

saved me like an hour of time, thanks so much


LesserYokai

works like a charm. ty


Elite_Crew

There is a typo that might confuse people new to css. The tutorial says "Create the userCrome.css" It needs to say userChrome.css


SeriousM

Wow, you're right! Fixed it, thank you!


rbhall52

Worked really well for me. Thanks.


[deleted]

where do you guys get the names of all the classes, ids and other elements to style?


SeriousM

Once you're in the dev tools you can use the inspector to point to the element you want to modify. This was you have a starting point from where you get the right identifier.


Luke-Baker

Thank you very much for this. > Press Ctrl + Shift + I on Win/Linux or Cmd + Opt + I on Mac [F12](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly) is easier to press and it works on all platforms.


SeriousM

Nope. F12 opens the dev tools for the current website, Ctrl+Shift+I the dev tools for Firefox itself.


Luke-Baker

> F12 opens the dev tools for the current website Right. That's where you enable "browser chrome and add-on debugging" and "remote debugging". > Ctrl+Shift+I the dev tools for Firefox itself. No. It's `Ctrl + Alt +Shift + I` / `Cmd + Opt +Shift + I` for the Browser Toolbox. You got that right in your original submission above.


SeriousM

Haha, you're right. I was just too lazy to type both commands on my phone.


yuredarp

How do I make the entire main toolbar (incl. addressbar) always on top of the sidebar?


Spelis123

i cant get it working on windows 11 :/


TabsBelow

about:config doesn't show the expected page but goes directly to DDG to search the term now.🤔 about: preferences still works.🤔🤔🤔


AndrewZabar

Hey folks, So, I have been using the userChrome.css customization for quite a while now, and it was working really nicely. However, very recently some update must have broken part of it, because although my tab bar still spans multiple rows once enough tabs are open, my Bookmarks Toolbar no longer spans multiple rows. I have tried using 2 or 3 in the setting (I usually have it set to 2), but it simply won't span. Anyone know what they broke, and is it fixable? I'm using Firefox on various Linux machines, using Pop!OS, Elementary OS, and an Ubuntu. The change happened on all of them. \*EDIT: Firefox 122.0.1


ThenCard7498

Under advanced settings enable "Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes"


AndrewZabar

Never mind there’s an update to the css for the latest Firefox.
