View Page Style
Big Dave Smith
while, and I'm unsure about it.
In the menu, if I go to View, I have a submenu for Page Style, and
then 2 options, Basic Page Style, and No Style. If the point of this
is simply to toggle CSS support on and off, it seems like an odd way
to do it. Alternatively, and what I really hope for, is that this can
be used to allow the user of a website to select one of several CSS
options, however I can't figure out how. Is it not implemented yet,
or was this just done for UI's which do not support checkboxes in
menus? What's the deal?
Can someone shed some light on this topic? I'd love to let my FireFox
users select different CSS's, and it would be handy for development.

Sometimes pages offer alternate stylesheets, either for a different look
and feel, or to hide content, and in some cases, offer a printable version.
Some examples are <http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/> and
<http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard>.
If a user wants to use their own stylesheet, that requires an add-on.
There are probably more than a couple, that will do it, listed at
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1/cat:4/sort:popular>.
