creating a personal style sheet

hello webaim,

I would like to create a personal style sheet for use with FireFox. One
of my neighbours has started having trouble reading high contrast text
and I want to help out. I have created lots of stylesheets for web sites
but no personal ones and I am hoping for a few tips.

If I edit userContent-example.css -- for example add these styles to
the body

body {
background-color : #666 ! important;
color : #f9f9e1 ! important;
}

and save it as userContent.css would it then load by default in FireFox
or would it be an available style under the "view" menu?

I want to test this out on my own computer, give it to my neighbour, and
then get rid of it on my machine. Do I delete the userContent.css off
mine? Comment it out?

I am thinking to copy this onto a thumb drive and then put the file on
his hard drive in
programs/Netscape Folder/defaults/profile/CN/chrome
sound right?

Any suggestions, links, tips are welcome!

thanks.
Sandy
