I had a small image of the booksmarks menu, but your server won't load it.

     Thanks

It is best to use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.
Then use the Browse .... button below the Post a Reply text box to upload the screenshot.

Maybe there's an add-on for this? But if not...

You can use custom style rules to modify the appearance of many parts of Firefox's user interface. Here's an example of a custom style rule applied using the Stylish extension's preview feature (see attached screen shot).

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#bookmarksMenuPopup, #bookmarksMenuPopup menupopup {
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204) !important; /* Pale yellow background*/
}
#bookmarksMenuPopup menu, #bookmarksMenuPopup menuitem {
  color: rgb(0, 0, 255) !important; /* Blue text */
  font-weight: bold !important; /* Bold text */  
}

I'm not saying that's pretty, but it's possible. You will need to be guided by your own color sense.

  • If you don't want any more extensions, you can apply custom style rules to the UI by creating or editing a userChrome.css file.

  • To get color codes, you can use: http://www.visibone.com/colorlab/ There also are sites that show colors which coordinate well together if you can't find a combination you like.
