how to customize firefox bookmarks?

Question

i'm fairly new to firefox so i don't really know how to customize. i really want to change the font size of the bookmarks and i don't know how.

so far i've created a "userChrome.css" folder under my firefox profile (in the Chrome folder) and created a notepad file. 

what's next? everything i put into there does not take effect. am i doing this right?

userChrome.css should be a file, not a folder.

Delete the userChrome.css folder you created.  Then make a new text file named userChrome.css in your profile's 'chrome' folder.  Use Notepad to edit the new file, and put this text into it:

  #bookmarksMenu menu { 
    font-size: 140% !important;
  }

  #bookmarksMenu menuitem { 
    font-size: 120% !important;
  }

Then save the file and exit from Notepad.

After that, tell Firefox to exit, and then launch a new Firefox.  The new Firefox will read your userChrome.css file and should adjust the size of its bookmark menu text according to follow what those statements say.

The first of those two statements (the '#bookmarksMenu menu' one) controls the size of the text used for the names of submenus in your bookmark list.  The second entry ('#bookmarksMenu menuitem') controls the size of the text used for actual bookmark links.  There are several different ways of specifying font sizes; here I've specified the sizes as percentages, making the submenu font 140% of the size that it would normally have been and making the item font 120% of the size that it would normally have been.

You'll probably need to experiment a little to get the results you want.  If the text is too big then edit the userChrome.css file and change the font-size numbers to something smaller. If it's too small then change the numbers to something larger.  Each time you make a change to the file, save the file and then exit Firefox and start a new one to put the change into effect.
