Help make A Special Thing even more special.

How can I make Firefox use a unique custom css whenever I visit a particular website?

I love the forums at A Special Thing. I can't handle the whole white text on a black background of it all. I want to small up the text, go black on white, and make it a little less I'm-reading-a-web-forum-on-my-lunch-break-yeah-lunch-break.

You want a user style sheet with a per-site rule. Hack away.

You can use the Web Developer toolbar. Use the "Edit CSS" option and hack the CSS of the page. Or load your own CSS file. I keep a few saved for particular sites. It's a great hack for reformatting long text documents into something you can actually read.

Here's an example (flickr self-link) of a page modified using this technique: before and after.

Install Greasemonkey and then add the Cskinner script.

You don't need Greasemonkey. Firefox 1.5 allows you to define site-specific CSS in your userContent.css.
