COMMAND REFERENCE

fxcss watch

bash
fxcss watch

Opens Firefox with your theme applied and watches chrome/ and custom/. Save a CSS file in your editor and the running window reloads it automatically.

The window is yours to drive — open menus, resize it, type in the address bar, right-click things. Nothing is scripted.

Reloads reach every chrome document, not just the browser window: new windows, and separate documents like the window-modal dialog (the quit prompt), pick up your edits too — the same reach an installed userChrome.css has.

See light and dark captures of the starter theme.
