lol.. the chrome store does not support my browser "just yet"

I bet it's possible to write a Firefox extension that allows you to 'apply' Google Chrome extensions. They are, after all, just html pages and javascript with access to certain APIs that may already be available in Firefox in some form or other.

I think Firefox's JetPack labs initiative might be close to that. https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/

I agree, far too much white space.

A bug here: http://img852.imageshack.us/i/hngeorgify.png/# (fixed image link) The parent post is being shown as a reply to a peer and not the post it actually replied to. Seemed like normal threading until I noticed the reply was older than the grandparent.

Surprised since the only change I did was add padding to the top and bottom. Wonder how that changed threading. I am not using one line of JS for this.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this?

Could you make just a stylesheet for Stylish users? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fjnbnpbmkenffdnn...

Please note this has a fixed width issue in Chrome. Works fine in Firefox. So I would recommend Chrome extension for chrome users and Stylish for FF

Colornazi in me has to point out that white isn't really a color, otherwise I agree.

I hate to be "that guy" but are downvotes really warranted here? Wouldn't it be sufficient to provide a correction?

Even were he correct, it was a worthless comment.

I like it. A little off topic, but the Google Chrome Extensions that override CSS get my brain thinking about something like this on a different scale. For instance, could someone build complete Facebook or Twitter face-lifts? If it's possible, the consequences of that permutation would be interesting. Especially now that the modern browsers are moving towards auto-update, which encourages a higher likelihood of some…

Better Facebook (http://betterfacebook.net/) changes a lot of of the look and feel of Facebook, allowing to add, remove or move elements and apply themes.

Love everything apart from the fixed-width main column. Leaves me with huge margins at either side with my usual window width.

On larger monitors, I usually Ctrl and + (Windows and Linux) or ⌘ and + (Mac) which increases the font sizes. Georgia looks awesome at 18-24px.

That affects every page on my Firefox (just installed, latest Stylish). Even the Location Bar goes giant Georgia.

Ah: You need { } around the entire document after the @moz-document line
