I understand that someone asked a very similar question in this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/977490?esab=a&as=aaq but I want to accomplish my goal without adding another addon or extension to my browser.

Those files do not exist by default, so you need to go to the Firefox profile folder and create a chrome folder. In the chrome folder you can create a new file and paste the content in this file and save the file as userChrome.css

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:

Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

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

#bookmarks-menu-button,
#bookmarks-menu-button-container { display:-moz-box !important; }

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

I did a blanket search for "userChrome.css" and "userContent.css" in my .mozilla folder and the files weren't found. What do I do?
