userChrome.css

A clean, minimal, and professional Firefox userChrome.css for macOS

Traditionally, Firefox has allowed users to customize the user interface of the browser itself by using CSS. By placing a userChrome.css file inside the chrome directory of your Firefox profile, you could change how the browser looks and behaves. Newer versions of Firefox (since 2019) disable the use of userChrome.css by default. Ironically, these newer versions have poor user interfaces, and are most in need of customization to override bad design.
