If you don't like your Firefox theme, try another theme.

Tools > themes
These are the Firefox in-built themes

This is what I see when I click on Tools:

It's ok, I have no problems with it.

It does look bleached out and the other themes make it hard to see the little icons to the left of the toolbar.

That's all.

Okay. So click on Add-ons and Themes, and see where you can go from there.

That's my issue, too. A minor irritation, all things considered.

Okay. My point is that you can download other themes that may work better for you.

You can try them on here (and de-install as well).

Thanks - I added Firefox Color and created a color theme that works for me!

What is it that you hate about it? You may be able to fix it with a few tweaks.

Otherwise, you're probably going to have to uninstall Firefox, download the older version that you wish, and reinstall.

Mozilla Firefox archives:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

In that case, you may also have to disconnect your computer temporarily from the Internet (before installing the "new" older version) in order to stop the older version from automatically updating to the current version:

Temporarily disconnect from Internet
Install Firefox
In a new browser window or tab, go to:
- aboutreferences
- General
- Select from
Automatically install updates (recommended)
Check for updates but let you choose to install them
Reconnect to Internet

I went to the Mozilla site and did an older version install, but it didn't work. Thanks for the suggestions.

I chose this one for now- works fine-

Chromebook = No Windows or Firefox..

I'm getting used to it. I got cut and paste on the toolbar along with full screen. A browser is what you pass through to get to where you really want to go anyway.

The only thing I didn't like about version 89 was the default double line-spacing in the dropdown menus -- that is, padding above and below each text entry. I removed the padding via this info at mozillazine.org (which is not Mozilla):

What genius decided to double space all menus?

There are a few browser.proton.* prefs that partially disable the proton theme (the upper and lower padding) (set to false).

* browser.proton.contextmenus.enabled
* browser.doorhangers.enabled
* browser.proton.enabled

These are found by going (in a new tab) to about:config and searching for proton -- then set the above to false.

Thanks, @Devi your tips to remove double spacing worked for me in Win 10.

Worked for me, too. Thank you so much. Are you in IT @Devi?

 

[RadishRose]

My menus didn't change at all.

You're welcome. I wouldn't say I was in IT; I was a website designer for years. I also still read tech forums quite a bit.

We have a younger friend, who is a missionary in Northern Sweden, who liked to say "I wish I could just say 'Let there be a Web-site' and it would be".

I got rid of Mozilla Firefox and am now getting accustomed to Chrome. I will be very wary of updates!

I'm wondering what theme you tried.
Go to Tools > Add-ons and Themes
Then use the Find more add-ons search box.

Or just go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
and find a theme that works for you.
What's neat is that you can try on (install) a theme to see if you like it, then remove if you don't. Or, without removing it, try another.

Good luck!

That was a big help for these old eyes. Thanks!

 

[Mr. Ed]

why do I have to re-learn?

Because change is inevitable. Besides, you're not relearning something you know, you're learning something new.

So I installed the new version last night. I also have the extra spacing between text in the menus by default (dumb) and fixed it per your post -- thanks. FWIW, this is the first version for me that had the double-spacing, you said you had it in 89?

I don't like all the white on the top either. Normally any program would have whatever Windows theme you are using; for some reason this doesn't. I tried a couple of the default themes, no likee.

Anybody find a good theme?
