OT: What's your favorite Firefox theme?

by Lyle on Nov 16, 2009 7:53 AM PST Comment 52 comments

Sorry, no rosterbation here (Renteria for Morneau!). No, I just bought a new 27" iMac, and I've been using Firefox for the last several years. I'm looking to update the Firefox theme I use, and I thought you all would be an excellent source of suggestions.

My son recommended Pimpzilla; sight unseen, I'm guessing that wouldn't be my choice. Any ideas? I'm looking for something clean, fairly simple, not too small nor too large, with a bit of color. Wild and wacky, not so much. I did a quick Google search; the screen shot of Camifox looked good to me, but I'm sure there are lots of other good choices.

I don't suppose there's a Giants-related theme out there somewhere?

Your son beat me to it – pimpzilla is my fave.

Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.

All of the themes after this one had too much tuba.

I use Chrome a lot also.

But just for normal stuff like this. For web browsing Firefox is needed because NoScript is a must-have security Add On.

That's sweet thanks!

Those are Natto’s drawings right?

I couldn’t get it to work right on the header until I clicked on the little Picasa magnifying glass and then dragged the figures as far left as they would go, and THEN downloaded the picture. I set it to header and footer and it looks fantastic.

Have you tried Firefox Personas?

http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/

Much better than themes because you can change between thousands of them instantly if all you are trying to do is get a different look to your browser. Of course, if you want to change the buttons you have to use a theme but then you can keep that style theme and use Personas to change the look.

It seems pretty easy to make your own persona. But not easy enough for me. It would be cool if a member of the McCoven made a Giants one.

Was casually looking around earlier and saw a nice A’s Persona.

I actually like it a lot. Too bad I’m not an A’s fan.

It's fantastic

I saw it twice in theaters. It’s not a deep, dramatic epic, but it’s a well-made solid popcorn flick.

Last Movie I saw in a theater was Star Trek Generations.
