You can even create your own theme, which I’m not going to explore here, but if you’re interested in finding out more, you can always refer to Mozilla’s documentation page about that.Īs you browse through the categories (I’ll explain how to get there in a minute), you’ll notice that the names of the persons who submitted the themes are mentioned alongside each theme. Mozilla Firefox skins (or themes) exist in many different categories such as “Abstract”, “Nature”, “Sports” and on and on. Mozilla Firefox lightweight themes, on the other hand, are easy to find, they don’t move around any of the interface elements in your browser and they allow you to easily pimp backgrounds and colors. These annoyances may very well be the reason why Mozilla is trying to decide to stop supporting complete themes. With that said, it’s worth noting that complete themes are somewhat harder to create and, what’s more, they can break when your Firefox browser updates itself to a new version. When using complete themes, you shouldn’t be surprised to find completely new buttons in your browser, or control elements that are moved around to other locations. While lightweight themes (or background themes) only change the style (look and feel) of your Firefox browser, complete themes don’t limit themselves to these cosmetic features. Mozilla differentiates between “complete themes” (also called heavyweight or full themes) and lightweight themes. In this article I’ll help you to understand themes, I’ll show you where to find the most popular Mozilla Firefox themes and I’ll guide you through the steps needed to change the look and feel your Firefox browser with free themes.
