This may sound silly, but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm having an issue with a theme that I had previously installed and then replaced - the former theme keeps coming back, every time I open Firefox. And, I can't just delete the theme that keeps coming back because it isn't in the list of themes I have downloaded. Help!

Could you try the following:

Remove Theme from Firefox Profile: Sometimes, themes can get stuck due to cached data. Try these steps:

  1. Open Firefox and type about:support in the address bar.
  2. Click on "Open Folder" next to "Profile Folder." This will open your Firefox profile folder.
  3. Close Firefox.
  4. In the profile folder, look for a folder named "extensions" and delete any folder related to the theme that keeps coming back.
  5. Restart Firefox and see if the issue persists.

Refresh Firefox Firefox has a "Refresh" feature that can fix various issues without losing your essential information. Here's how:

  1. Open the Firefox menu (three horizontal lines) in the top-right corner.
  2. Select "Help" and then "Troubleshooting Information."
  3. Click on the "Refresh Firefox" button.

Check Sync Settings: If you're using Firefox Sync across multiple devices, it's possible that the theme is being reinstalled due to synchronization. Try these steps:

  1. Open the Firefox menu and click on your account name.
  2. Go to "Manage Account" and check the "Sync Settings."
  3. Look under "Synced data" and ensure that "Themes" is unchecked if you don't want theme syncing.

Extensions can change your theme, disable your extensions.
