I need a userstyle to reduce the "space" icon width of firefox by half, the space is too important in width for small icons.

Did you verify that userChrome.css is a CSS file? Does other code in this file work?

See 'toolbar decorations' in this file:

chrome://global/skin/toolbar.css
toolbarspacer {
  width: 15px;
}


You can use code in userChrome.css to set a smaller width and add the "!important;" flag to override the default.


@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

toolbarspacer { width: 6px !important; }

  • create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window
  • make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
  • make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css.
    otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

Hi,

I have ff55 & your code doesn't work, the length size remains the same, even re-dragged to the toolbar..
