Ok, I am probably missing something fairly basic here.
I am trying to make some edits to userChrome.css for my copy of PortableFirefox. I've tried placing the edited file in:
PortableFirefox\profile
PortableFirefox\profile\chrome
PortableFirefox\firefox\chrome
PortableFirefox\firefox\defaults\profile (didn't think this would work but tried it anyway)
PortableFirefox\firefox\defaults\profile\chrome (didn't think this would work but tried it anyway)
I searched the forums and did not find anything about anyone else having trouble with this.
Any suggestions? Here is the code I am trying to put in my userChrome.css:
/* Make the Search box flex wider
(in this case 400 pixels wide) */
#search-container, #searchbar {
-moz-box-flex: 400 !important;
}
It was copied right off of the Mozilla Firefox Tips & Tricks site.
Thanks,
Bryan

I had the same problem at the beggining when I was trying to edit this file. I found through trial and error that the file needs to be located in:
PortableFirefox\Profile\Chrome\
Create the chrome folder there and then place the file within it and all will be well.

Thanks Deuce! Been reading your postings here for a while....
When I put in other userChrome.css modificaitons such as:
/* Shrink tab titles by 10% */
.tabbrowser-tabs .tab-text {
font-size: 90%;
}
they work fine. But the modification to change the search bar size just does not seem to work. Of course I can get around that by rearranging my toolbars a bit and putting a flexible space in front of the search bar so it expands.
Thanks again!

It is a "flex" command. It IS working now that I understand the nature of the command better.
Sorry for wasting bandwidth.
