Where is userChrome.css?
I am using Firefox 12 with Windows 7.
Here it is recommended that I can use the userChrome.css
file to make custom styles.
However neither the file nor the chrome
parent folder seem to exist on my system.
For clarity, what would be a full example path to this file? Something like
C:\Users\Steven\AppData\...\<profile>\chrome\userChrome.css
My confusion was between the AppData\Roaming
and AppData\Local
.
AppData\Roaming
is the Firefox User Profile Directory
AppData\Local
is the Firefox Temporary Directory
So the full path is
C:\Users\Steven\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\chrome\userChrome.css
developer.mozilla.org/en/Runtime_Directories
In Firefox you can also click Help, Troubleshooting Information, Show Folder
Yes. That path is correct. If the chrome
folder or userChrome.css
do not exist, you can simply create them yourself. For any changes to be applied, you must first restart Firefox. For this reason, I recommend the Stylish add-on, as it is more flexible.
For Windows 7, the default path is:
%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\chrome\userChrome.css
Note: I have chosen to use the AppData
environment variable, as the full path can vary based on your system's configuration. If you installed Windows 7 on the C:
drive and your home folder is C:\Users\<user>
, then %AppData%
expands to:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming
