@import for userchrome.css (now not allowed?)

[Splibbilla]

@import in userchrome.css to "call" another css file. Would be useful when you want
to apply certain standard chrome styles to multiple profiles of ff (tb, sm, etc).

i assume it's not allowed as hyper-prevention of malware takeover of chrome? (or did i
somehow f# it up when i tried?)


i tried:

contents of userchrome.css reduced to :
____________________
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

@import url("testChromeBlack.css");
@import url(testChromeBlack.css);
@import url('testChromeBlack.css');
@import "testChromeBlack.css";
@import url"testChromeBlack.css";
@import url "testChromeBlack.css";


_____________________________
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator
accepts lines 1, 2, 3, 4. Pretty freaky that it accepts lines 3 and 4:
_________________________
(CSS level 2.1)
We found the following errors (2)
5 Parse Error url"testChromeBlack.css";
6 Parse Error url "testChromeBlack.css";

Warnings (4)

doesn't make much sense, but also tried this in testChromeBlack.css

WFM - if I put the @import before the @namespace as is required...

@import url("red.css");

* {color: red !important}

voila. that did it. i googled for info a couple months ago and gave up for then.
but asking around, sometimes someone knows.
it's another case of that old pseudoparadox: "why do you always find your eyeglasses
in the last place you look?"

it'll be much easier to manage profiles.

danke mucho.

(too bad this whole thread can't be moved to the general ff help group)
