Remote content warning bar color customization broken in recent update

Hi all,

The remote content warning bar is back to its obnoxious bright yellow color in one of the recent updates. Previously, many of us had found a way to customize the color here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1273397. This workaround permitted the user to change the bar to black (or any preferred color) which was much kinder to the eyes - esp. for those of us using dark themes.

All the changes I made per the link above are still present, but no longer seem to have an affect. Perhaps TB is no longer supporting legacy style sheets. Can anyone suggest a tweak to get this working again?

TIA, Chris

Problem solved in above referenced thread.

Current working code (TB v91.0.2) set for white text on black background: ____ /*

  • Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct functioning 
*/

@namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");

html|div.container.infobar[role="alert"] { 

 background-color: #262626 !important;
 color: #ffffff !important;

} ____

Style sheets are still supported, but I don't know why that particular css doesn't work in 91, as the id for the bar is still 
#mail-notification-top
.

Thx for the info re style sheets. The namespace url is still active and my config edit hasn't changed (toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets = true). My profile is the same so I'm at a loss.

Thanks for the reply.
