Its ok.. I found the problem: in the background property i had a space after the linear-gradient property:

.main-header {
  padding-top: 170px;
  height: 850px;
               /* space here \/   */
  background: linear-gradient  (#ffa646, transparent 90%),
              #ffa949 url('../img/mountains.jpg') no-repeat center;
  background-size: cover;
}

and changed it to: 

.main-header {
  padding-top: 170px;
  height: 850px;
               /* no space  \/  */
  background: linear-gradient(#ffa646, transparent 90%),
              #ffa949 url('../img/mountains.jpg') no-repeat center;
  background-size: cover;
}

And it worked.. Thanks! :-)
