Thank you very much for this tip. I use chromium and fortunately there
exists the Stylish chrome extension. I got it working with the code
you gave by just snipping the moz-document line.
When I inspect the element and check the page source I understand
where td.content and p comes from but could you explain what 'em'
suffix to 40 means please?

The "em" is just a length measurement.
You can read more about it here:

[gentoo-user] kdm and pam issues after resume
Upon resuming my laptop from standby, kdm's screen locker does
nothing, and /bin/login lags a lot before "Password:" comes up.
Googling has led me to think that this might be a consolekit issue, as
the syslog has "cannot create /var/lib/kdm-4.5: Permission denied"
lines, in addition to the lag going away after Alt+Sysrq+{R,S,E,I} and
reappearing after running init 3 to restart the killed processes.
The lag in console mode is kinda like this:
agetty
\- login [lag]
\-\- bash [lag]
Apart from rebooting, are there any real solutions (apart from k-9ing
the screen locker)? bugs.gentoo/295376,295799 are kinda vague.

I tried it, and for good measure, did some spelunking in the .configure file in the firefox tarball. I have some questions, before possibly tweaking the Firefox ebuild and/or .configure on my machine... --enable-application=xulrunner will Firefox run without this? --enable-pango will Firefox run without this? I have the "moznopango" flag set, which is supposed to speed things up, but about:buildconfig indicates that pango is enabled. --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip Why? I thought most packages stripped code after install. --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2 will Firefox run without this? --enable-oji will Firefox run without this? And what is "oji"? I can't find any mention of what it does. --enable-mathml I don't really need it right now. --enable-storage will Firefox run without this? The help says... "Enable mozStorage module and related components". Can someone please give a short explanation in plain English what this does? --disable-ogg One thing I might consider enabling. Is there a problem with Firefox's ogg support, or any other reason to disable it? -- Walter Dnes
