    Code:
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    #appmenu-button
    {
    background: #orange !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button dropmarker:before {
    content: "Firefox" !important;
    color: #FFFFFF !important;
    }
    #appmenu-button .button-text {
    display: none !important;
    }

    6) The code:
    Code:
    background: #orange !important;
    .. would be the colour for our bar. Use the hex-code, or just write down the colour you'd like.

    The code:
    Code:
    content: "Firefox" !important;
    .. would be the text in the bar.

    The code:
    Code:
    color: #FFFFFF !important;
    .. would be the colour-text!

    Chance it for anything you like, Save it.

       Warning
    Remember to restart Firefox during chances

    Great tutorial FredeGail! Some pictures/screenshots would be a great addition. Also, I'm pretty sure the orange bar is on the left hand side, not the right.
