UserContent.css

 * width="100%"|



chrome/userContent.css is a file in the profile folder. The file name is incorrectly capitalized in the title of this article due to technical limitations in the software which powers the Knowledge Base.

userContent.css in the chrome folder is a CSS file that you can use to change the way web sites and e-mails look. This file does not exist in a new profile. You can create it manually.

userchrome.css and usercontent.css are ignored in recent versions unless you set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets true in the config editor.

Note:┬á This file only affects your Mozilla application's display (when you are using a particular profile). It does not actually change any web page or e-mail message. For example, if you use the file to change colors in e-mail messages, it does not affect messages that you sendΓÇöso people who receive messages from you will see them using their own choice of colors, not using your choice of colors.

Creating

To create this file automatically, download the .zip file - http://franklion.co.uk/GEN-LINKS/chrome.zip. Paste the .zip file in your profile folder and unzip/extract it there. A chrome folder will be created with the userContent.css and userChrome.css files already within the folder, together with example files of each.

Notes:


 * If you have more than one profile, then each of your profiles has a separate userContent.css file.
 * There is another  folder where Thunderbird's code is installed. Do not create a userContent.css file thereΓÇöit will not work.
