I want to edit the background and the text color of the Firefox's statuspanel (the little tooltip that shows in the left corner). I've used the following code in userChrome.css: 

   @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
     
   statuspanel { 
     color: #ff0000;
     background-color: #0000ff;
   }

But the text color doesn't change, while the background-color fill an empty limited space around the statuspanel, and not the statuspanel's background.

Chosen solution

Try to use .statuspanel-label as the selector.

I usually use this code in userChrome.css: 

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */

.statuspanel-label {background:#FF9!important;color:black!important;font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"}

I just want to improve the solution in case someone have this problem. Right now there is a white border around the status panel, so the final solution is something like that: 

  @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
      
  .statuspanel-label{
     background:#FF9!important;
     border-color:#FF9!important;
     color:black!important;
     font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"
  }

By the way, it works great, thank you cor-el
