User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 userChrome.css file provides a powerful way of tailoring the Firefox's UI. Still, access to it is rather complicated. I would like to propose the introduction of "about:userchrome" as an easy way to edit this file. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter "about:userchrome" Actual Results: invalid url Expected Results: open userChrome.css editor - basically, a big <textarea> with the content of the file + save/restart firefox buttons
