Firefox Developer 80.0b7 (64-bit) Mac Catalina V 10.15.5

I've tried using the userChrome.css file to change the background color for the active tab. create chrome folder in profile folder create userChrome.css file and add: .tab-background[selected="true"] {

 background-color: #ffffff !important;
 background-image: none !important;

} Set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to TRUE Reboot mac This does not take affect and the userChrome.css file is not visible in Style Editor.

What am I doing wrong? thanks Milton

You can open the userChrome.css file in a Firefox tab to check if the file is a plain text file and not a file with RTF or other formatting code.

Yes it opens in a tab. It is a text file.
