Yes. Look for the userChrome.css code for changing that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/

userChrome.css is mentioned several times on that page...what is it anyway. and im using FF not chrome thanx

First link on that page is for a tutorial about userChrome.css. https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/comments/73dvty/tutorial_how_to_create_and_livedebug_userchromecss/

Here is another website about userChrome.css. https://www.userchrome.org/ https://www.userchrome.org/what-is-userchrome-css.html

And two more which provide more of an explanation: https://fosspost.org/tutorials/how-to-customize-firefox-57-user-interface https://www.howtogeek.com/334716/how-to-customize-firefoxs-user-interface-with-userchrome.css/

thanx very much. im assuming that theres no easy setting in FF

Firefox uses the "chrome://" protocol to access its internal files and use chrome in other cases like userChrome.css (no relation with Google Chrome).

i dud exactly this before i came here, theres no change

im not going to update so folder colour wont be an issue but id like to know how to stop ff asking me to update it

before i came here did exactly what FredMcD suggested above but since i pointed that out he has not said anything. in my experience advisers in the forums are often a bit touchy when u point out something like that, so i really don't know how to approach this now

thanks if anyone knows

Firefox tells you to update because it is not safe to use the internet using an old browser. Fred gave you a way to edit your folder colors using userchrome.css, there is even a subreddit called https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/ where people will help you customize firefox to look how you want it.

Please update asap
