Tired of its monotonous appearance, pleasant add-ons have been developed that allow you to change the appearance of the browser, making its shell more colorful and interesting to understand. In this article, we will look at the issue related to Themes for the Mazil web browser.
Firefox themes
The theme in the Firefox browser is a special additional extension that partially or completely changes the visual display of the Firefox search engine. Themes transform the skin and visual content of a browser, from the toolbar to buttons and switches on pages.
There are two types of Mozilla Browser Themes:
- Background Themes for Mozilla Firefox. With this tool you can change the color and pattern in the background of the toolbar. It has a small download size and is very easy to install.
- Full Themes for Mozilla Firefox are Themes that completely change the entire external image of a web search engine. They are already more "heavy", and you need to restart the browser to change the browser's appearance.
How to set up a Theme in Mazila Firefox
In order to customize themes you need:
Launch the browser, open the menu and select the "Add-ons" option.
This will open the mozilla.org website. Under the huge word "Supplements" there is an item "THEMES". Select the required group with the mouse cursor and proceed to preview.
To visually evaluate the Theme, you just need to hover the cursor over it.
If any Theme liked by clicking the "+ Add" button, the user applies it to his Internet browser after installation.
How to change the Theme in Firefox
To change the appearance of the toolbar, you can also select any other theme you like on the mozilla.org Internet resource and add it to your search engine.
To change between the added Themes, you need to launch the browser - open the menu - select "Add-ons" - select "Appearance" on the left side of the window and click the "Enable" button to the left of the desired theme.
In this way, you can easily change the appearance of the Internet browser, customizing it to suit your mood.
Not only many familiar extensions stopped working, but also the design themes. In particular, we have lost a few great dark themes that were very popular.
For example, the topic FT DeepDark from the author steva interested more than 11 thousand users. However, now next to it, as well as in front of many other themes, in the official catalog is the inscription: "This add-on is incompatible with your version of Firefox."
It's a shame. However, today we decided to remind you that Firefox has built-in themes, including dark.
Turn on the dark theme
If you did not know this at all before, then finding these topics will not be difficult. Open the main and go to the "edit" section.
At the bottom of the tab that opens, there is a button that hides the theme selection menu. There are several options, including a light theme, a green "pastel gradient" and a light brown "web browser renaissance". There is also a blue theme with stars called "space fantasy". But we are interested in the Firefox dark theme:
By the way, if you don't like the changes you made and want to return to the original design, then the standard Firefox theme, as you can see, is located there. Sometimes, when changing themes, its name changes to English Default. Don't worry: this is the same basic default theme.
But back to the dark. This is how it looks:
The active tab is dark, the background tabs are even darker (closer to the black theme). The entire toolbar and address bar also become completely dark. The menu and other interface elements, however, remain the same.
Also, remember that starting with version 57, you can resize interface elements:
As a result, this is how the dark theme will look in its compact form:
By reducing the browser header and all the icons on it, the interface will take up less space, and the round back button will be replaced with a rectangular one.
Themes for Mozila. Where to download and how to install.
There are different ways to change the look of your browser. I'll tell you about two of them.

This is what matters. Themes completely change the design of the browser. But there is another tool that partially changes the appearance of Mozila - this is an add-on for Mozila - Personas.
Add-on for Mozila Personas
Add-ons or they are also called plug-ins are some extensions or gadgets that make your browser more functional. Read more in this post.
Personas add-on changes the skin of the Mozilla Firefox browser. I am using this particular plugin. Notice what the top of my browser looks like. It is designed in Mozilla style.
There are skins on a variety of topics. In general, the tastes of many users are taken into account.
The add-on can be downloaded and installed here at this link. Read how to install the add-on. After installing an add-on in the add-ons panel ( if you see it, if not, go to View - Toolbar there, check the add-ons panel) the face of a chanterelle will appear. If you click on it, a menu will appear in which you can select the skin.
And what is interesting is that it is enough to bring the mouse to the thumbnail of the skin and it is immediately loaded into the browser, but not installed. Those. there is a view mode. If you like it, then just click on the thumbnail of the skin and it will be installed.
The skins can also be viewed on the Personas website. The variety is enormous.
These are the goodies and decorations.
By constantly using our browser, we understand that sometimes some changes are needed, both visually and functionally.
Various design themes allow you to do this. You can choose any background that is interesting and cute to you, for example, cars, girls, favorite actors and the like in your Mozilla Firefox browser.
You can partially or completely change your Internet browser: controls, new built-in functions. All you have to do is select and install the desired theme. We will now find out how to do this in Firefox.
Search and installation process
We are looking for and installing a visual theme we like (you can also read about installing themes):

- On the page that opens, select a section called "Selected Topics" and click on the local link "Show All".
Advice! Naturally, in order to find topics and do all of the above, you need to have access to the Internet.

Advice! You can see how the theme will look without installing it. To do this, simply move the mouse cursor over the picture (highlighted in red) and the browser panel will turn into a new view (temporarily, of course).
As a result, a message will be displayed stating that the design has been changed.

Important! To manage all installed add-ons of this type, go to the "appearance" tab.
