8,600 PointsHi Taylor, I quickly tested drag and dropping normalize.css into my workspaces and it seems to work correctly for me in Firefox.
I can also preview and edit the file within workspaces.
If you are still having problems there are some workarounds to using normalize.css in your workspace.
You can link to CDN as suggested by OSP Designer.
<link rel="stylesheet" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/3.0.3/normalize.css" /> <!-- For Development Version -->
<link rel="stylesheet" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/3.0.3/normalize.min.css" /> <!-- For Production Version -->
Or you could create a css file in your workspace and copy and paste in the contents of normalize.css:
/*! normalize.css v3.0.2 | MIT License | git.io/normalize */
