    Firefox user chrome question

    I have never been able to get the user.css file to work for me at ail, can any one help, I know how to change the web page font through the tools menue, but I would like to change the font size of the address bar to 16 or 20pt.(if this means I have to adjust the addresss bar itself to accomadate the font size change then I would also like to do that as well.
    It's been a few months since I have tried to play with the usercontent and other Css files for firefox, but I believe the path is ...\mozilla firefox\chrome\ *.css ( where the * is 1 of the 4 commonly edited css files.
    thanks for the help.

    Only one of those css files is for users. userChrome.css
    On the mozilla site, there is a whole page on how to play with that. Also, look at the example files in the same folder/directory.

    btw, even though FF3 is in beta4, Mozilla has said it is now safe for regular users to download and use. The only beta changes being made now are user interface widgets, colors, buttons, etc.

    I tried it and it's pretty cool!

      Even though there is exampleuser.css and you just omitt "example" from the file name it doesn't seem to work for me, I have cleared the file , and pasted an example that is supose to change the font size but when I save the file, close it, and also close and re-open FF it doesn't seem to work

        The filename is actually userChrome-example.css, right?

        All of that is commented out so changing the file name won't do anything, but you said you pasted in some example from somewhere. Instead of that, keep the file as userChrome-example.css and create your own userChrome.css. Paste your example file in there, restart, and see what happens.
