How to automatically reload user userChrome.css? (lemmy.world)

Basically, whenever I edit firefox-profile-path/chrome/userChrome.css, I want firefox to automatically apply the file again. The only posts I found on this are old and not straightforward. I'm wondering what currently works.

Actually I got a .uc.mjs file working with the snippet that refresh every 1 sec: https://gist.github.com/jscher2000/ad268422c3187dbcbc0d15216a3a8060?permalink_comment_id=3259657#gistcomment-3259657

    Sure, you can apply reloading like that if you want. But I would be careful when using that as .uc.mjs because if you don't tag that script with @onlyonce - and you have like 10 windows, then Firefox will reload userChrome.css once a second for each window so potentially 10 times a second. That could be quite a lot of cpu usage for constantly invalidating and computing the browser UI styles.

    Also, I don't think that function can handle the case where you use @import statements in your css.
