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

<http://kb.mozillazine.org/ChromEdit> is outdated. It refers to <https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/17>, which is no longer found.
<https://addons.mozilla.org/search/?q=ChromEdit&sort=name&type=extension> not found at AMO.
A long shot, I ran <http://downloads.mozdev.org/cdn/chromedit/chromedit.xpi> through the Extension Converter for SeaMonkey <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> wondering whether the end result might be usable with Firefox 56.0.2. Unfortunately not.

Nice idea.
Some other userChrome-oriented issues
======================================================================
bug 794533 - Use a more allowing license for userChrome-example.css and userContent-example.css
bug 1404398 - userChrome-example.css is gone
bug 1409065 - Reload userChrome.css without restarting (e.g. when opening a new window)
bug 1410511 - userContent.css and userChrome.css are not consistently applied
bug 1416044 - Add telemetry for userChrome.css usage
A future without userChrome.css?
======================================================================
<https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2017/08/10/upcoming-changes-compatibility/#comment-224171> draws attention to <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332529#c14> under 'Run userChrome.js at startup (resp. when loading the main window)' (RESOLVED WONTFIX):
> … (userchrome.css should probably go away for the same reasons, but that will be a different bug)
– happily, as far as I can tell, no such bug at this time.
