I can see the source code and use the find option to get to the line of code I want to edit but I cannot change the code. I thought I could use firefox to edit css files. How do I enable that?

Hi jkarlin-

You can select 'Edit CSS' under the CSS menu of the Web Developer Extension to make live edits.

You can get the Web Developer Extension here:

Hope that helps!

If your intention is to upload the changed code to web server then you need to use an external HTML or text editor to make the changes and upload the modified files afterward.

You can look at KompoZer if you do not have a suitable editor.
