If you did everything right... you need to restart FF to have it take effect.

Here is a pic of the Chrome.7z I just downloaded from here... and the Chrome folder that is inside the 7zip file.
And the folders IN the Chrome folder.






I just double clicked the Chrome.7z file and it opened.
Then I dragged and dropped the Chrome folder inside to my Desktop.

Then I opened the FF profile folder and dragged and dropped the Chrome folder from my Desktop to the profile folder.





When I double click Chrome.7z, this is what I see...

That is not what you said originally .....you posted this...

Well you can use my Chrome folder... just drop it in here...
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\...<profilename>"

And that is where it is now ....

ok...I give up .....nevermind...

Yeah... "drop" not extract... and that location is shortened.

After Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ then there is a folder with weird numbers and ends in default-release.

That's where you need to drop it... in the xxxxxxxx.default-release folder


Here... I changed the number... 0xa7vc8f.default-release <----- actual profile folder






Lemme try it this way (since the forum shortened the location).

C:\
Users
<username>
AppData
Roaming
Mozilla
Firefox
Profiles
0xa7vc8f.default-release <------ put the whole Chrome folder, in here.


I only have one Firefox profile, and that's what it's called.


And for anyone else, playing along...

In about:config, set: toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets ...to True
This tells Firefox to read the stuff in the Chrome folder.


Then restart Firefox.




The Chrome folder is in this zip file. You need to unzip it first.

Chrome.7z



And here's where it comes from... Releases . Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx . GitHub

What is the purpose in doing this?

It makes Firefox look like this...





You have to do a few things in the "Customize" page of Firefox as well.
I dragged a lot of stuff OFF the address bar and dropped it in here, as well.





...and dragged some things from here and dropped them on the address bar row, too.

Oh OK, You want to make it look like Firefox 3? I like the way it is with the Bookmarks Toolbar but to each his own.

Yeah, exactly... FF 3.1 my favorite FF.


Lotta folk like the new stuff in FF. That's fine by me. Mike asked how I got it to look like that, so I told him.

That Aris-t2 Chrome folder can do a lot of other things too. Things I don't care about.

Check post #1962


Mainly it's a huge userChrome.css file, with switches for those that still think in Fortran.

This is what's IN the Chrome folder. You can edit either of the .css files. The rest of the stuff is just support files.

I used to fool around with that quite a bit, know I just want to be a user. Yes one can do many things with CSS.
