6. 🐺 Librewolf 📦 Flatpak version.
7. 🧅 Tor Browser. (This browser has reversed window controls).
8. 🧅 Tor Browser 📦 Flatpak version. (This browser has reversed window controls).

❗For best experience we recommend to use theme with Firefox installed with apt package manager. Other installations have limited support. We also welcome contributions like editing a userChrome, for example to make a fully supported other version possible. Thanks in advance.

Use this one line install script. Just copy the line to your terminal and press enter. When you want a different window control layout, use Pantheon Tweaks first to select one, after that this script will automatically install the right userChrome:

bash <(wget --quiet --output-document - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/elementaryos-firefox-theme/install.sh")

To force installation of Titlebar Enabled Theme, use script below:

bash <(wget --quiet --output-document - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/elementaryos-firefox-theme/install.sh") --native-titlebar yes

Installation script will also patch Firefox preference to enable native titlebar usage. Firefox doesn't use native titlebar by default.

To force installation of Private Mode Style, use script:

bash <(wget --quiet --output-document - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/elementaryos-firefox-theme/install.sh") --private-mode-style

This will make purple colors of Private Mode as default style.

➕ After installation

1. In the customization panel in Firefox you can move the new tab button to the left and select System theme. You can also use the dark theme option but light theme is not supported.
2. If you use Pantheon Tweaks with the dark mode on, the theme changes to dark mode by itself. Firefox 98 and newer are changing to dark mode when the elementary OS system dark mode is set.

🔁 Update

To update installed theme, use script

bash <(wget --quiet --output-document - "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/elementaryos-firefox-theme/install.sh") --update
