Few days ago, realizing I was getting fed up of the same, old, plain default Firefox theme I decided to experiment and try out various Firefox themes, after playing around for some time I came to a conclusion, Firefox chose that theme to be default because it is the best.

All the other downloadable themes off the Firefox add-ons site doesn’t really ‘fit’, in other words they do not look complete and part of one theme, the icons don’t go with the main background color, for example. The IE theme for Firefox Is okay but it’s still Firefox, why would we want to make it look like IE.

Apart from the ‘incompleteness’ of the themes, it does take about a second longer to startup with the theme applied.

So my suggestion, stick with the default.

Update – After further digging through the available Firefox themes, i found a few themes which were quite alright, here they are:

• Own
• Blue Ice 2
• HmmXP
• Ubuntu Tango
• Qute
