A theme changes the appearance of Firefox, such as the color scheme and background image of the toolbars. Firefox comes with a Default theme and optional Light and Dark themes but you can always install new themes.

Jul 13, 2018 The Default theme is a standard light theme that respects your Windows theme settings. For example, if you enable colored title bars on Windows 10, Firefox will use colored title bars with the default theme. The Dark theme is Firefox’s dark mode. Everything in Firefox—-including the title bar, toolbars, and menus—will turn black or a dark. Firefox doesn't block these though, Firefox just blocks trackers. While many of those are intertwined, a lot aren't, and by the time the user downloads Firefox, they might be confused to see ads. The 'Firefox is for everyone' part is weird. I don't see why this is really necessary. The only modern browser that isn't cross platform nowadays is.

1. Click the menu button , click Add-ons and select Get Add-onsRecommendations or Themes.
2. Scroll through the suggested themes or visit addons.mozilla.org to browse more themes.
3. Click on the theme's author to see more information about it.
4. Click the button.
   • To install a theme from addons.mozilla.org, click on the theme and select the button on the resulting page.

   Firefox will download the requested theme and may notify you that it has been installed.

Switch themes

1. Click the menu button , click Add-ons and select Themes.
2. Scroll through the list of themes.
3. Click the ellipsis (3-dot) icon that displays for the desired theme and then selectEnable.

Remove themes

You cannot remove the Default, Light or Dark themes that come with Firefox but you can remove added themes. To remove an installed theme you've added to Firefox:

1. Click the menu button , click Add-ons and select Themes.
2. Click the ellipsis (3-dot) icon that displays for the theme that you want to remove and then select Remove.

If you are not able to remove a theme, see Cannot remove an add-on (extension or theme).

• If you have a problem with Firefox, it may be caused by your theme or your theme's interaction with other add-ons. For troubleshooting instructions, see Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems.
• If you cannot install a theme, see Unable to install add-ons (extensions or themes).

• 1Mac Theme/UI Refresh
  • 1.1Update to Visual Styling

The overall design changes for Firefox 3.7 on Mac are mostly the same as what is being proposed for Windows. Structurally they are very similar with a notable exception:

• The Menu Bar: The Menubar on Mac is different from its counterpart on Windows. There is no system wide push to phase it out and it is an integral platform UI element.
• App Button: Since the Menubar is not being changed this button will not be on by default if available at all.

In addition to the structural changes already proposed the Mac theme is primarily focusing on visual design changes.

Update to Visual Styling

One goal of this visual refresh is an increased amount of cross platform consistency where it makes sense. This means we have tried to incorporate similar(or even identical) shapes for items such as buttons, glyphs and tabs. The changes to make these things fit in are how they are styled and textured.

Proposed changes from the current Mac theme:

• Button Shape: Using rounded rectangles instead of the curved-end buttons found in 3.0–3.6. This will match the native button shape as well as the shape planned for Windows.
• Button Texture: Slight deviation from the current texture. Adding a slight gloss and edge highlight for some added dimension/depth.
• Removal of Bookmark Bar Texture: Removal of the glossy bookmarks bar texture for less visual complexity and more streamlined look.
• Tab Shape: Slightly more defined tabs. Also rounded edges connecting to the toolbar.
• LocationBar Shape: Use a rounded rectangle LocationBar instead of a curved-edge. This creates a visual distinction between the LocationBar and the SearchBar even though the LocationBar is still technically a search field.

Differences from the Windows theme:

• Back/Foward Arrows: Use system standard back/forward glyph shapes instead of the Windows arrow with a tail.
• Hanging Tabs: Instead of the tab attached webpage style seen in Windows we retain the hanging tabs approach from 3.0. This is the de facto system standard (e.g. Safari, Terminal, most 3rd part apps with tabs).
• No Icons on the Bookmarks Bar: This reduces icon overload and matches Safari.
