How to reset userChrome.css in Firefox? Hey everyone, I wanted to see what tabs would look like on the very top of Firefox 4, so I edited my userChrome.css file to do so. Well, there was something wrong with how the code was setup (which most people would never notice), so I want to disable it now. So, I erased the code out of userChrome, and restarted Firefox. Nothing happened. I restarted Firefox a bunch of times more, and still, nothing happened. I even went as far as deleting userChrome.css. Nothing happened. So, is there a way I can disable this? Or is it permanent? | My System Specs |

Or is it permanent? I used to be big into this with Firefox and helped in the development of Themes but dropped out back in 2.0. On XP boot I'm still running version 1.5.0.12,lol. What was the location of your userChrome.css that you deleted? Deleting it should have fixed your issue unless you are using something like Stylish which would retain your css edits unless that particular style was disabled in Stylish. I'm assuming since you say that it was userChrome.css that you edited then it would rule out Stylish which by the way would be better for testing out different Styles. One thing to try is emptying your cache. Fx used to cache images of userChrome but as I mentioned, it's been awhile since I've used a modern day version of it. With Win 7, I've gone totally back to IE. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Averatec 6130HS-20 OS Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7600) CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 3.00 GHz HT Memory 2.0 GB Graphics Card ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 64MB Sound Card Realtek AC'97 Audio Screen Resolution 1280 x 800 Mouse Targus PAWM10 Wireless Optical Laptop Mouse Cooling 20 Inch Box Fan Hard Drives Seagate 96023A 60GB 7200RPM -

Ok, I'll try clearing the cache. That sounds like a good idea lol. I would've used stylish, but since I'm running Firefox 4, it's incompatible.
EDIT: It didn't work... any other ideas? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX OS Windows 7 Home Premium CPU 2 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G graphics |

C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[profile.default]\chrome Oh yeah, that was it. Thanks! I got it fixed now. I had gotten confused of the location; I thought it was C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4 Beta 1\Default\Profile\Chrome. I'll remember the correct path next time lol. Thanks again! Oh, and I gave you some rep too. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Compaq Presario CQ60-215DX OS Windows 7 Home Premium CPU 2 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 8200M G graphics |
