The file has to be called
userChrome.css, with a capital C.HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 12d
It is. The above is a typo. I suffer from a condition called Hamhands.

Hmm, not a lot to go off of then.
Can you just go through these steps to see if anything isn't set up correctly?

You can also check via the Browser Toolbox, whether the file gets loaded.
In the "Style Editor" tab, you can filter the list on the left and if "userChrome.css" isn't listed there, then it didn't get loaded.
If it is listed in the Style Editor, then something about your rules is broken. You might be missing
!importantin places.Or your CSS rules might not target the right classes/ids/variables anymore. For example, I had a breakage about a month ago, because they renamed the CSS variable

Not using LW, but in FF there's an about.config. item called 'toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets' that has to manually turned to 'true' to work.
I don't like the FF setup (userChrome levels buried deep in the .mozilla folder), must be nice to have it handier like that.

The same path should work in Firefox, just with
mozilla/firefox/instead oflibrewolf/librewolf/.Or are you surprised by it being stored under
~/.config/? That's a quite recent change: https://lemmy.ml/post/39240208ResurgamS13@fedia.io · 1 pts · 10d
Using a capital 'C' in 'userChrome.css' and userContent.css file names is a longstanding convention... but not a requirement.
Edit: CSS userChrome modifications work normally in Firefox on Windows OS' with a small 'c' in the 'userchrome.css' file name... unable to test if this also applies for macOS and Linux installations.

Are you on Windows? On Windows, filename capitalization in general does not matter.
But OP seems to be on Linux. I just tried it on Linux with the filename as "userchrome.css" and it was not loaded.
I would've been very surprised, if it did work on Linux, macOS etc., because to my knowledge, as a software engineer, there is no way to implement that without a second filesystem access, which would've delayed startup.
Nowadays, you even have to set a
about:configflag, specifically because they don't even want the first filesystem access to try to load the file...
