How can I restore a previous theme? I had a "colorfore" theme that Mozilla offered a few years ago set up in Firefox. It was perfect! I could see everything clearly with my aging eyesight.Then one of my synced computers needed a new Linux OS installation so I signed out of sync on that machine. Installed the new OS. When I started Firefox the first time I signed into sync. I got my history, bookmarks and bookmark bar, but no custom colors. Now my computer at work has its colors reset to the out of box colors too. I have lost the colorfore colors I have been using for several years now. How can I get the colorfore colors back? Thank you for your attention in this matter. I love Firefox, use it exclusively and contribute to Mozilla. Gregg Scholfield

Do you mean a colorways theme?

Do you remember its name? You can find the built-in colorways themes by visiting this page via the address bar:

  • resource://builtin-themes/colorways/

You can find its ID in the manifest.json file. The browser.theme.retainedExpiredThemes pref has an array list of extension IDs. You can find the ID in its manifest.json file.

You may have to create this pref as a new String pref by pasting browser.theme.retainedExpiredThemes in the search bar at the top of the about:config page and select the String radio button and press the '+' to add this new String pref.
