A new theme called "Compact Light":

Another new theme called "Compact Dark":Compact Dark Firefox Theme

The new themes are just variations of a refined "development" theme which is now split into light and dark color schemes. While these themes will be available out-of-the-box in all channels of Firefox, the current 'Australis' theme will remain enabled by default.

New Firefox themes are intended to fit low resolution screens and save space. Many users like the dark theme of the development version of Firefox, so it was highly requested. Also, after adding these two new themes, classic theme development has been deprecated. Compact themes will be used instead in all editions and versions of the Firefox browser.

  1. Instead of offering slightly differentiating themes they could provide one which doesn’t draw its style on window frames so users who doesn’t use default visual style in Windows 10 wouldn’t have to use custom userChrome.css to alter Firefox’s behavior.

    1. I think that Mozilla assumes that most people don’t know and / or don’t bother changing their title bar colors, especially since it was impossible in the original release of Windows 10.

  2. show me the screenshot of “Pastel gradient”, “Space fantasy” or any other theme those in the recommended section

  3. MAJOR ISSUE: I use persona switcher, so now I keep getting Compact Dark when I HATE dark themes. I may have to stop using FF if this is the future of this browser. I want options, not the developers opinion of what the browser should be.
