Apparently, it might already not be working, see: https://github.com/FirefoxBar/xStyle/issues/45#issuecomment-346829585 and the comments there.
It mentions a secret bug in bugzilla where it's considered a bug. I don't know if it's fixed yet, but considering that this feature doesn't work in in Tampermonkey and the author of that extension tried to get it working with this trick, might make me think this secret bug was already fixed.

No idea what the secret bug is and I would rather have commented on a different bug, but that one is locked.
