Location of userContent.css in Thunderbird?

I have just installed both Firefox and Thunderbird. Now trying to
customise Thunderbird newsgroups to add different colours of both the
text and background of different quote levels in messages.

I have looked at Thunderbird's help page but am not sure where the
suggested 'userContent.css' file should be located.
Is it in the profiles folder of Firefox or Thunderbird? Firefox appears
to have Userchrome and Usercontent css files in:
\Firefox\Profiles\ld65y01r.default\chrome folder.

Thunderbird only has a prefs.js file in
\Thunderbird\Profiles\7tuegtw3.default folder. No chrome folder at all.
Appreciate any help.

Thanks
Danny

Newer versions of TB do not create chrome folders automatically. You
can create one manually. You can also create a userContent.css and
userChrome.css in order to make your modifications.

or better yet, use quotecolors: http://quotecolors.mozdev.org/. More
user friendly!

Thanks Lee,
I will create a userChrome and a userContent file in the profiles folder
and see if that does the trick.

Many thanks. I have downloaded that extension and am about to restart
Thunderbird. However I would still like to try lee's way as it helps the
learning process!

Note that they need to be placed in the chrome folder, so you will have
to create that as well:
