 As an alternative to add-ons like [[stylus]], you can simply add [[CSS]] rules to the file ''userContent.css''. It's slightly annoying in that you have to restart Firefox for it to reload the file, but you can use Stylus or the built-in developer tools (you can load files in the 'style editor' tab) to preview things. For styling Firefox itself you create a file called ''userChrome.css''. As an alternative to add-ons like [[stylus]], you can simply add [[CSS]] rules to the file ''userContent.css''.
