Find Bar Text Box change fail colors

Post by Michaell » 2025-05-10, 16:25

PM default (clean portable profile, v 33.7.0 but not a new issue)

I want to change the default colors used in the find bar text box, specifically the white on red used when search fails. Did not find setting for it in about.config or Status Bar Preferences (formerly S4E).

userChrome.css

Code: Select all

.findbar-textbox[status="notfound"]
{
 background-color: red;
 color: white;
}
If you don't know how to add to userChrome, there's topics all over this forum about it.

Thanks. It works but I had to add " !important".
