Try the userstyles suggested in previous r/FirefoxCSS topic: ‘Help needed, how to change border color under the bookmarks toolbar ?’… ignore “under the Bookmarks toolbar” in title… these lines actually appear between main toolbars and the webpage Content window.

BTW - Do give BiggMurr’s reply a try… the whacked-out auto-changing border colours userstyle is a fun option… although you will need black or dark toolbars and content window to really enjoy the show!

I would download a copy of the .exe installer file to desktop and take that apart… don’t mess with your current installation.

You can open a copy of Firefox’s .exe installer file and extract the actual icon .svg or .png files too. Useful if want old icons from previous versions that used different icon design sets… sometimes these sets can be found online.

Only need 7-Zip utility or similar… open the .exe… then locate the ‘omni.ja’ file and open again with 7-Zip… search ‘omni’ folder for icons. Many folders contain icons… lots in the ‘icons’ folder itself (omni > chrome > toolkit > skin > classic > global > icons) in current Firefox stable release .exe installers.

Can view .svg icons by drag & drop file onto a blank page of Firefox (or any browser)… icons will appear ‘life size’ i.e. tiny in top LH corner of page. Can also find free online manipilation sites to modify .svg icons. Modified or 3rd-party icons can be added to browser’s profile ‘chrome’ folder along with a one-line CSS userstyle to replace the standard icon.

Er… Are you quite sure the image file names you’ve been trying were identical? No errors?

All works as expected here using both .svg and .png image files. :)

E.g. in your post above your profile chrome folder image file is named ‘fb1.png’… whilst your image file name in your userContent.css code is ‘fb1.svg’. Yes, the image file names match… but No, the file type suffixes do not match!

Tested here using a .svg image file and a new profile of Fx125.0.2 on Win10… with just the rule code copied directly from your post (above)… adding a Firefox logo .svg image file downloaded from here… placed in profile ‘chrome’ folder… then renamed ‘fb1.svg’ as per your example:

Thank you for your kind reply. :) Reading between the lines from the few exchanges you had with yawn_zz when you were leaving r/FirefoxCSS last July I had gained the impression that your relationship was likely on the minimal/curt/frosty side.

I have no objection to the community moving here or wherever else it wants to exist… my aim at present is to try and rescue all those years of previous posts so they can be searched… even if this was only as an archived sub in future.

As a first step I need to find out from u/moohorns if he has received any reply from the Reddit Admins Re: the message he sent to them a couple of days ago not long after the 2nd ‘gone private’ event had occured sometime in the early afternoon of Tuesday 23rd April… see: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1cafqvr/comment/l0wnif6/

Although no great shakes at CSS I am very dismayed by the sudden and mysterious demise of the r/FirefoxCSS sub… for exactly the same reasons as hansman Re: the loss of the huge body of previous knowledge contained in that sub’s years of posts, replies, suggested CSS userstyles, etc… and much other related info on the inner workings of Firefox including many suberb insights in the replies posted by MOG. :D

As hansman has posted today in the r/Firefox thread "Either way, u/yawn_zz needs to get his arse in gear, and at least make a statement - he owes the contributers of the sub that much.".

I too am at a complete loss to understand what is going on and what has triggered the two ‘gone private’ incidents?

Did the sole remaining Mod ‘yawn_zz’ really have his phone stolen and hacked 2 days ago by ‘pro-Palestinian protestors’… supposedly whilst leaving his unlocked phone with a friend during an exam? This seems an unlikely story to say the least? Exactly why would any ‘pro-Palestinian protestors’ have the slightest interest in messing with a Firefox CSS sub-reddit? So what is really going on? Has the Mod ‘gone rogue’? The lack of any statement from yawn_zz makes this more probable by the hour.

If yawn_zz didn’t want to be the sub’s Mod any longer why didn’t he just make an announcement post and walk away leaving the sub ‘abandoned’ but up and running? Why all the amateur dramatics and apparent deliberate spite?

I had cautiously hoped that posting here might prompt MOG to perhaps try contacting u/yawn_zz to find out what was going on? I was hoping MOG might have other contact details for him, having been the co-Mod of the r/FirefoxCSS sub with yawn_zz for several years. MOG would also have a much better understanding of the workings of Reddit Mod & Admin systems than me starting from ground zero. Any advice or assistance on how to proceed with a ‘rescue’ would be very welcome indeed!

I spent last evening reading-up on how users can attempt to ‘recover/reopen/rescue’ a sub-reddit that had been taken private, abandoned, or the ‘top-Mod’ has ‘gone rogue’. The answer is that the Reddit Admin methodology for doing this isn’t incredibly obvious. I also discovered that this is not the first time that the r/FirefoxCSS sub has ‘gone private’ or run into Mod problems either… see searches of ‘redditrequest’ and ‘top_mod_removal’, etc.

As reported in an update post on the r/Firefox sub topic yesterday afternoon I have applied to ‘join’ the now private r/FirefoxCSS in an attempt to discover what is happening. No reply from the Mod yawn_zz as yet. Not a huge surprise given the silly/childish/petulant/spiteful ‘PRIVATE SUB FOR STAR FOX FANS. BEST NINTENDO GAME EVER!’ notice added by ‘someone’ when the sub was taken ‘private’ for the 2nd time yesterday afternoon. What on earth is that all about?

Although I do not have deep CSS knowledge I have been interested in modifying Firefox’s UI for over a decade. I would be happy to learn how to become a Reddit Mod and take on looking after a rescued r/FirefoxCSS… however, it would be better if there were a few other Mods too (preferably stable, well-adjusted adults!) with some in-depth CSS skills! :)
