XPI - firefox - Install Firebug Extension Manually - Stack Overflow (I used this solution to install manually ThumbnaiZoom)

To install Firebug manually : There are two ways to run extensions manually: 1. Extract the XPI : Download the XPI file that contains the extension Locate the 'extensions' folder within your profile (e.g. via Firefox menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder) Create a new folder within the 'extensions' folder and call it like the add-on's id (for Firebug this is [email protected]) Extract the XPI into that folder 2. Get the sources from the git repository: A detailed description for how to do that can be found on the development setup description on the Firebug wiki. It's similar to the description above with the addition that you'll be able to always get the latest sources. Two notes: - The folder name must be the same as the addon's ID (look in install.rdf of the addon) In your case it's not firebug-2.0b1 , but [email protected] - The directory where the addon should be placed is not where the Firefox itself is installed, but into your Firefox's profile. By default it's in %APPDATA%MozillaFirefoxProfilesXXXXXextensions (where XXXXX is name of your profile folder. More info about profiles you can find here)

FIR 57>+ - userChrome.css / userContent.css - WebExtensions can not modify browsers appearance in Firefox 57+

The only way to modify UI is adding custom CSS code to userChrome.css and userContent.css files inside browsers profile folder. Keep in mind CSS code can not create entirely new items, buttons or toolbars. It only can modify already present ui items. 1. Find your profile folder ('profile names are different for everyone'). All OS: about:support > Profile Folder > Open Folder 2. User styles belong into "chrome" subolder. Create it, if there is none yet. PROFILENAME chrome 3. Copy userChrome.css, userContent.css and subfolders into chrome subfolder. How to use custom user styles? The userChrome.css and userContent.css files works like an optionsconfigurations file. All main "features" can be enabled and disabled there.
