Answer» Hello- I have a problem with installing a theme in firefox. I have firefox 3.0.10. Previously I had 3.0.9 and had the same problem. When I go to Tools-Add-Ons-Themes and select a theme, I can click the "Use Theme" Button and then firefox says re-start now? and I go OK and then it says firefox will remember my pages and it closes and re-starts and the default theme is still there!! I've been to the Standard Diagnostic page-->http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox and tried everything they suggested but to no avail. I don't know why it seems so important to change the look of my browser but it bothers me and I don't know what to do? Can anyone suggest something? -N.What Themes have you downloaded and now have available in Firefox when you go to Tools-Add-Ons-Themes? Where did you get them? Which one are you trying to use?I got these themes from firefox. Tools-Add-ons- Get Add-ons-browse all add-ons and then choose themes from the page that loads etc.They are as follows: Utopia White Gradient iCool Stratini Mangan Noia (xTreme)
The LINK is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2
Check here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_savedBroni Hi! Thanks but I've been there and the only THING LEFT would be to assume that some third party software is blocking my being able to install a theme in firefox. The question is --How can I find out which program it is? Unless you know of an edit for prefs.js and user.js.. Here are these files: Quote # Mozilla User Preferences

[moderated message: fixed horizontal scrolling]Try to create new profile, and see, if same thing happens: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_FirefoxTry DLoading the Theme Switcher extension...QuoteTry DLoading the Theme Switcher extension... I used "Search Add-ons" with key words "theme switcher extension" and got one hit: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=theme+switcher+extension&cat=all and apparently it was for older versions of firefox. Do you know of a link for a theme switcher extension for firefox 3.0.10? I use the Mr. Tech Toolkit extension to enable older extensions to install on newer Firefox RELEASES...Well- I downloaded Mr Tech Toolkit extension and now when I navigate to Tools-Add-ons and go to Mr. Tech Toolkit I click on the Options button and the Add-ons window freezes. When I click anywhere on it my computer beeps at me and nothing happens. I cannot even close the window. I need to use the Task Manager to terminate the process. What HAPPENED?Not sure what to say....i have zero issues with FireFox. Mr.Tech Toolkit has never locked up on me. Perhaps your profile is corrupt. Create a new Profile to test....It seems like a lot of work. I have enough on my plate right now without having to fix Firefox, so I'm thinking I'll switch to Google Chrome. I read the results of the poll and it seems that the general consensus is that Chrome is the fastest. Also I'm intrigued with the simplicity of it. No Menu No skins I haven't yet made it my default browser, but I'm definitely considering it. Thanks to all who tried to help. If anyone has anything further to add I would welcome any suggestions, comments, whatever. -N I had the same problem but I finally found a firefox extension called Personas for firefox. It worked just fine for me and is very easy to use. Just download the extension and choose from the gallery.
