A Firefox userChrome.css theme that aims to recreate the look and feel of the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge.

###### Screenshot taken with macOS Monterey / Firefox Nightly 96.0a1 (2021-11-30)
## How to install
1. Go to `about:support` and click the "Open Folder/Show in Finder" button for the root directory of your browser profile/s.
2. Download and copy the `chrome` folder into the profile folder.
3. Go to about:config and change these preferences:
###### For all operating systems:
1. `toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets` = `true`
2. `svg.context-properties.content.enabled` = `true`
3. `layout.css.color-mix.enabled` = `true`
###### On macOS:
1. To use the Edge style context menu on macOS then set `widget.macos.native-context-menus` = `false`
###### Recommended:
1. `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth` = `66`
2. `browser.tabs.tabClipWidth` = `86`
Additional tweaks can also be applied to the theme, such as Mica (Windows 11 Only), Floating Tabs and more. See [Tweaks](#tweaks).
**Note: Most frequently tested on macOS**
