In my workflow, I need to re-style existing HTML/CSS code with custom
CSS styles.
In this kind of tasks some features could be very useful:
- Ability to attach custom local CSS file (now I'm using Stylish add-
on to attach it and Firebug to edit/add styles, but it's not really
good workaround)
- Ability to save changes to local CSS file and use it for current
site even after page reload

- It could be really cool to have "one click solution": open Firebug,
right-click on CSS file in Style box, click "Save & Use local style"
and work with local saved editable copy. Than, if you need, right-
click again there, select "Use original style" to see the difference.
After that, click "Use local style" and revert back to your tweaked
style.

I think these would be great features for FireDiff extension,

So you should add them as separate issues to the issue tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list

Before adding them please make sure, there aren't already issues
covering your suggestions.

In order to use a custom style sheet, insert a STYLE with a TITLE into the HEAD.

HTH,

I don't understand how the <title> tag should be involved in that, but of course that's it's the easiest way to just replace the referenced CSS file by another one on server-side. Though I can understand, that for some web designers it might be easier to be able to replace the CSS file on-the-fly.

Ah, yes. Maybe I should have read first before making my statement. :-)
Thanks for the info.
