Using a capital 'C' in 'userChrome.css' and userContent.css file names is a longstanding convention... but not a requirement.

Edit: CSS userChrome modifications work normally in Firefox on Windows OS' with a small 'c' in the 'userchrome.css' file name... unable to test if this also applies for macOS and Linux installations.

    Are you on Windows? On Windows, filename capitalization in general does not matter.
    But OP seems to be on Linux. I just tried it on Linux with the filename as "userchrome.css" and it was not loaded.

    I would've been very surprised, if it did work on Linux, macOS etc., because to my knowledge, as a software engineer, there is no way to implement that without a second filesystem access, which would've delayed startup.
    Nowadays, you even have to set a about:config flag, specifically because they don't even want the first filesystem access to try to load the file...
