userChrome.css Tweaks for ColorfulTabs in Firefox Quantum and later

[Cindy Hoffman]

I used to love firefox but can't get it to work right on this computer. Colorful tabs will not work. It does not change color. All tabs are white. The star on the tool bar gives me the number of tabs I have open but like I said. They stay white. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks

It seems that the "toolbar {background: initial !important;" code doesn't work like before after updating to Firefox V68.00.
The result now is this:

HINT: I combine ColorFulTabs with ColorTabs https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/colortabs/
Now i can use my own (keepable) Colors for each Website & Domain :o)

So I have done everything you specified and now I have a userChrome.css file. What do I do with it? Did a post get deleted that explains the next step or am I just blind and stupid.

I am sick of the broken Firefox. The old Microsoft Edge doesn't each switch focus to the tab you make when you do New Tab. The new one doesn't let you execute any of the files that you click on including Microsoft Office files; it only lets me save them.

I am in browser hell.

I forgot to mention that I put the line

toolbar {
background: initial !important;
}

in the userChrome.css file.

So now what?

Just some code if somebody else is using Colorful Tabs with Firefox V91 and Aris-t1 custom CSS:

#main-window box #navigator-toolbox #titlebar+#nav-bar,
#main-window box #navigator-toolbox #titlebar+#nav-bar+#PersonalToolbar,
#main-window box #navigator-toolbox #titlebar>#toolbar-menubar+#TabsToolbar {
  appearance: none !important;
  background: var(--general_toolbar_color_toolbars, inherit) !important;
}
