(In reply to littlergirl from comment #28) > Thank you, also for the Browser Toolbox recommendation, but since remote access to my machine has to be enabled to use it, that's not something I would use. Reasonable to be concerned, yeah -- fortunately it's actually not *that* much of a security foot-gun -- the UI there is misleading. "Remote" there really means "other programs on your machine" (e.g. the Browser Toolbox which runs externally). There's an [additional about:config pref](https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/91f6127b6f591da4037821791c345147d9a575da/modules/libpref/init/all.js#4057-4058) that would have to be toggled in order for actually "remote" connections to be accepted from the network. I chatted with the DevTools team to confirm this and they agree that the documentation should be clarified to make this clearer. But in any case, it sounds like you don't need to use Browser Toolbox for your use-case after all. > Firefox Color is stunning. I'll be creating my own theme. Thank you so much. That right there is perfect. Hooray! I'm glad it helps. (In reply to littlergirl from comment #29) > I'm resolving this as invalid since it's not anything your team needs to fix. I hope that's okay. If not, please feel free to change it. Thanks!
