I'm trying to use a different firefox theme, but none of them work for me. I download the theme and it gets put in my themes list, but when i click use this theme and restart firefox it is still using the default theme.

I've had this happen in XP and 2000 with v .9 and 1.0 of firefox, if anyone could help me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have made this mistake before also. Did you make sure you download the correct theme. What I mean by that is did you download the theme for Fx and not Moz Suite? And did you download the theme for the right OS? I downloaded a os x theme once on my pc and while it installed it wouldn't work and I could never uninstall it.

I know you have already done this but.. you never know some people...

You must pick the theme and pick use theme after its installed.. then close all open windows of firefox.. check taskmanager and see if theres a firefox.exe running crashed in the background...

Restart firefox...

If still not working go back to themes and make sure its selctect and pick use theme again and restart firefox...

Other then that dunno... never seen or heard of this before..

Maybe you can download a nightly or uninstall and clear out your profile and install again... (delete mozilla folders in your windows profile)

I deleted the profile information and now it works, however when I try to restore my settings from my old profile, the theme stops working. I'm using MozBackup to backup and restore my profiles. I really just need my bookmarks. Is there any other way to backup and restore the bookmarks?

      I'm not aware of this issue, but to help the other guys.  What version of Android are you using? Did you try a different browser? To see if Edge is the issue here.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.
