editing bookmarks

  ok to do simple edits in the bookmarks file itself,
    but be careful -- 
    tried to delete a separator and deleted a whole big folder.
    so - better to go to bookamrks editor.

  Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Organize > Undo (ctrl-Z)
  Only works if you haven't closed Firefox. 
  If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup

changing browser styling.

  userChrome.css 

  in chrome folder, in profile folder
     for me: ~/.mozilla/firefox/t9sriikf.default/chrome/
  if it's not there, you can make it.
  Firefox will learn about it the next time you exit out of Firefox and start it up again.
  Whenever you edit you have to restart Firefox
  Can use debugger - browser toolbox (need to enable it).
