I agree that we should install it by default, but empty. This file is 
only for stuff in the app that the user wants to *override*, not for 
adding features. Otherwise, we will add more and more to it and the user 
will be overwelmed, scared to break something or to add his own rules 
(or delete some), while the file is indeed for him.

Not that our pref defaults aren't in user.js either. userContent.css is 
the equivalence of user.js.

I am not sure. In any case, they will not all agree on the same colors.

You cannot assume that users will edit a text file to set prefs, so 
telling them to edit the values in userContent.css, just so they can use 
the colors they like, is not good IMO.

IMO, adding a prefs UI is the right way to go. Waiting for Jen's 
reply... (However, I don't know, if I will implement that myself. I will 
surely give detailed instructions of how I think the "bug" should be fixed.)
