How to use userContent.css with: Firefox/Mozilla/Camino/Netscape
You need to place the userContent.css file in the chrome directory of your browser user profile.  The different browsers store your profile in slightly different places.  For macos X, the profile chrome directory locations are:

Firefox: home:Library:Application Support:Firefox:Profiles:profilename:randomstring.default:chrome:
