userChrome.css in Linux

[Big Al]

I've got a nicely tuned setup in Windows, but for the life of me, my css
file when moved to Linux does nothing for the appearance. I can change
fonts in windows but nothing in Linux, same with size of fonts.

Is there some different trick to a css file in linux?
I'm editing:
/home/alan/.mozilla/firefox/mafjaoe.default/Chrome/userChrome.css

Methinks the folder name should be lowercase. /chrome.userChrome.css

I believe that in linux, the "chrome" directory name is lowercase.

As a note, many fonts are proprietary so may not be available in
linux. You'll want to check that the font you are trying to use is
available on your system before trying to use it - otherwise a
system default will be used instead.

Woohoo. That did it. A put some silly handwriting script font in and
now it changes all over the place. Woohoo.

Thanks!!!

Happy to help.

In Thunderbird for the folder and thread panes I have,

font-family: serif !important;
font-style: italic !important;

Nothing for Firefox.

Why would you bother with that method when the Stylish addon is
so much more convenient? Just curious. A big advantage of Stylish
is the ability to turn styles on and off with a couple of
clicks.

I last used userChrome.css when I used a gecko-based browser,
microB, which didn't support addons. Perhaps when I get my jolla
tablet I'll have to do it again! I have a script somewhere to
build it from individual files.

I've used stylish but I guess I'm a minimalist and I don't really need
to turn stuff on/off once it's working, and it's one less add-on.

I still have all my stylish scripts. Not sure if the way-back machine
will allow them to work today. :-)

The names of all files in the profile must be in the correct case.
Everything there is case-sensitive. The subdirectory where
userChrome.css is must be named "chrome" - all lower case letters.
