Old themes
Hi there!
My Firefox crashed for some reason and I decided to re-install it. Prior to re-installing I had an older theme from older versions of Firefox installed. It was the pink one of the themes you could choose from the "Application menu" (literal translation from German, the system language I'm using). With the new version installed, I somehow cannot find the old themes anymore. I was wondering if there could be any way of using the old themes in the new version? Thank you for your time in reading this request.
Sincerely, Nikola

If you mean the Colorways themes, you can recover them, even all of them. First, enter this address in the address bar in a new tab : resource://builtin-themes/monochromatic/ Then enter the name(s) you want in the following preference in about:config: browser.theme.retainedExpiredThemes. See the threads and article linked below. The Reddit thread contains detailed instructions (remove the blank space in the link).
