Re: Mozilla to remove Themes from Firefox
I didn't have used themes since long time and I like the Kempleton theme, is elegant and very clean. I will use these instead the wallpapers from personas (also one plug-in less to carry on).
Re: Mozilla to remove Themes from Firefox
For those curious, it looks like Firefox 49 will be the one to kill themes.

And we are going to do that quickly, so that we can proceed with the other necessary restructuring, including things like gofaster addons. I'd like to see this fully rolled out by Firefox 49 which ships the middle of next year.
Re: Mozilla to remove Themes from Firefox
I love my emerald green waterfall theme. I remained at Firefox 28 as long as I could, but then I started getting stupid messages from websites about an "old" browser, so i went looking for an alternative and found a list that included Pale Moon. I must say, the transition was seemless. Thanks so much! I rarely give donations for software, but I made an exception and sent you a small donation. Excellent work! Yes, Mozilla has gone crazy.

"Assumptions" are terrible things, after all. Who are these developers, wanting things like API stability and backwards compatibility? What do you think Firefox is, a platform?
