Personalize your browsing experience with Colorways that were carefully created in partnership with an industry color specialist. Each colorway presents its own individual bespoke characteristic. Find a color that better fits you with our palette.

How can I access Colorways?

Starting in Firefox version 106, you will be able to access Colorways through Firefox View.

  1. Click the pinned Firefox View tab to open a new page with several Colorway options to choose from.
  2. Click the Try colorways button on the right side of the page.

The Colorways panel that opens next presents the 18 new colors + intensity options available. Choose one that resonates with your personality!

Existing users will be able to opt into Colorways via a spotlight upgrade notification. Upon upgrading to Firefox 94, a notification will appear providing the ability to opt into Colorways selection.

Note: If you have a custom Home page at the time of selecting an optional Colorway, you will see the Switch to Firefox Home with themed background option. Checking this box will reset your custom home page to the default Firefox Home page. To reset a custom Home page, see How to set the home page.

New users will similarly have the choice to opt into this new experience and they will be guided through the customization process. An additional notification for colorway selection will be integrated into the welcome experience. This notification will be visible only after downloading Firefox 94 for the first time.

Can I make updates to my selection?

You can view or change your selected colorways theme by going to Add-ons and themes in the Firefox application menu.

The Themes panel will include a new and exclusive section for Colorways themes that you can easily enable or disable. You can also switch to a different theme or restore the default system theme (see Managing themes for details).

  1. Click the Disable button on the Colorway card under Manage Your Themes. This will restore the system default theme.
  2. You can also navigate to the Saved Themes section and click Enable on any theme in this section to restore a previous selection.

Can I still retrieve my previous theme?

The Themes panel includes a section for Colorways themes that you can easily enable or disable. You can also switch to a new theme or restore previously used themes.

How long are these Colorways themes available?

Colorway collections will be offered on a timed cadence throughout the course of a year. The Independent Voices collection will be available in Firefox version 106 and will expire at the end of Firefox version 108. Your favorite Colorway will stay with you in Add-ons and themes, along with all of your other installed add-ons and themes if you have it enabled on the day of the cycle expiration. You will see this date communicated in the pill graphic on the top of the Colorway modal. All of your saved Colorways from previous collections will appear in the Colorways section of the Add-ons and themes page.

Will new Colorways be added when the current ones expire?

Yes. New Colorways will be forthcoming in future Firefox versions. Stay tuned for updates on when the next collection will release! In the meantime, you will continue to have access to your previously saved Colorways on the Add-ons and themes page.

These Colorways selections will be available in Firefox versions 94, 95 and 96 but you will be able to maintain access to the Colorway that is currently enabled when you update to Firefox 97. Your favorite Colorways theme will stay with you in Add-ons and themes, along with all of your other installed add-ons and themes. New Colorways themes were made available in Firefox version 97.
