The dark (theme) side of Firefox

Posted by Percy Cabello on October 26th, 2008 • Tags: dark, Firefox, Theme

For those inclined to black or dark desktops, here are six nice Firefox themes you want to give a try.

Pictured here on Windows XP with the Royal Noir theme for darker effect. All available from Mozilla Add-ons, but for those marked experimental you will need an account.

My favorite dark FF theme by far is NASA Night Launch. It’s customizable and in active development.

Sorry.

@mau

Sorry that Z black theme is the newer one. The link below is the one I use. I agree that the new one is horrible.

I miss the Black Japan theme. It was an awesome sleek black theme that was minimal and sleek. I am waiting on the upgrade for it.

I use a combination of “anycolor” and blue/green/purple/orange/red buttons to create many variants of a black theme in firefox

anycolor- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6991

blue- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7749
green- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8061
purple- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8099
orange- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8105

Thanks for the links to these addons/themes.

I have been looking for a way to make firefox fit in better with the new Zune theme for XP

I’m now using a combination of the AnyColor addon, and the Strata Human (Orange) theme to achieve this, an it looks great!

you forgot to add AEROFOX

I also nominate NASA Night Launch. I especially appreciate the customization options, active development, and avoidance of glossy buttons everywhere.

Is there any dark theme that does NOT alter the tabs?

I like to use the ColorfulTabs theme but every dark theme I’ve tried stopped it working.

Thanks,

Bren said on October 27, 2008, 9:15 am:

Too bad that you have to ‘buy’ Aerofox to get the full theme. It’s crap as it is now.

RedShift & Bloodfire are the best dark themes for me but they haven’t been updated yet…But they are the best I have used…

What happens when a theme completely hoses your Firefox? I’m guessing I have to re-install. (typing this from IE, looking for answers)

lb replied on October 28th, 2008, 8:53 pm:

YEah most of these hose my firefox :( just launch in firefox in “safe mode” and select a working theme and restart.

Hi… Can anyone reply as to how to uninstall a theme by using the Firefox profile folder. My FF crashes as soon as I open it, because of a new theme that I had installed. Since it crashes as soon as I start FF, I cannot uninstall the theme from the Tools –> Add-on manager step.
