I wan't to do the same as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1177062 but with firefox 57.

EDIT: My mistake was that I've tried to put the chrome folder in %USERPROFILE% >.<

That would be the same code in userContent.css.

Add code to the userContent.css file. 

@-moz-document url("about:newtab") {
 body { background-color: #EDCF54 !important;}
}

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

  • create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
  • use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
  • paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
  • make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.
    otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file
