89832 - skin's !important attribute cannot be overridden in userChrome

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43220

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect)

Description

[Kevin M. Turner]

When using Alfred's "littlemozilla" theme, I discovered that
I could not increase the font size in the urlbar (or any other
text-entry widgets) through userContent.css.  It seems that
littlemozilla set this in global/textbox.css:

html|*.textbox-input, html|*.textbox-textarea {
    /* ... */
    font-size: 8pt !important;
}

and while I can override littlemozilla's font settings where
they're not marked !important (e.g. menus), I can't override
this one in userChrome.css, with e.g.:

text#urlbar { font-size: 24pt !important;
              font-family: sans-serif !important; }

html|*.textbox-input, html|*.textbox-textarea {
        font-size           : 24pt !important;
}

...the font remains the inscruitable 8pt.
