Mozilla Firefox Themes...Not Working?

[LordPhoenix]

So I want to get a new feel and download a Theme for Mozilla Firefox 1.0.

Once I download it, it tells me to restart. So I close firefox, and open it.

Same old theme.

Alt+Ctrl+Delete, Task MAnager, Delete firefox.exe

Restart it.

Same old theme.

WTF?

Tools>Themes>select new theme>Apply

Firefix noobs

There are surprisingly very few decent themes for Firefox.

Anyways, are you sure that the theme you downloaded isn't for an earlier version of Firefox?

 

[shimsham]

i like the saferfox theme. some of the compact ones are cool.

 

[LordPhoenix]

I have FireFox 1.0

Requires: Firefox: 1.0 - 1.0+

Most Popular Firefox Themes:
Noia 2.0 (eXtreme), 23951 downloads
This is a fully skinned version. This theme is based on the Noia2.0 icon set by Carlitus.

Not to be an ass, but you did click on "Use Theme", right?

 

[LordPhoenix]

Yes. I did.

 

[LordPhoenix]

1. I downloaded the Theme
2. I restarted Firefox
3. I went to Tools-->Themes-->Clicked on the Theme-->Use Theme.

The same boring theme is still present. Why?

 

[sniperruff]

maybe you downloaded an expired theme?

 

[LordPhoenix]

I downloaded the most popular theme...Noia 2.0 Extreme

 

[sniperruff]

do what dell support would tell you to do... try restarting the computer and see if that fixes the problem.

also i'd uninstall any previous versions of FF.

I just reformatted my HD 2 days ago and this is the only version of FF i got. I got this straight from the FF website.

I clicked on Use Theme, Restarted, and it's still the same.

WTF?

 

[Shawn]

Weird. Just umm... keep trying. I know it works cause it's the theme I'm using right now.

 

[sniperruff]

if everything fails, just re-install it again.

btw i missed Qute.

Did you check with Mozilla's forums? The answer or atleast good advice may be there.


OK I found the problem. Right on the website it says it is incompatible with the current version of FF.

I was having the same prob..

The box that stores all the themes ALSO needs to be close..

So i applied the new theme. Alt + F4 close everything, reopen and it works.

firefox is falling apart

I noticed a similar problem. I had to uninstall the theme, restart Firefox, reinstall theme, select apply and then restart Firefox. It is up and running.
