compact light

[colley30]

how do I remove the compact light theme which has showed up in FF 52 Appearance Section; there is only one option listed and that option is to ENABLE this theme; windows 10, FF 64-bit

no... there are no error messages !.... no.... there are no messages !

You don't. Just enable the theme you want to use.

I have no intentions to ENABLE it; I want to DELETE it !!!

The Cult of Mozilla know what's best for you.......
@They are crappy SKINS, NOT Themes and they damn well should be removable, no one asked me if I wanted half assed (see we have themes !! ) junk like this... .Beware of Greeks bearing gifts

no need to SHOUT!



delete is not possible - if it may possible he had written it.
possible solution for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/DE/firefox/addon/lwthemes/

You don't. Just enable the theme you want to use.

I have no intentions to ENABLE it; I want to DELETE it !!!

Enter about:config in the address bar, search for theme, screw up everything in there until you get what you want.

Back up your profile first.

Hadn't noticed this till now. Just tried it. Slightly less compact than the way I have Waterfox set up with CTR!

Note that the so called Themes on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/themes/ are basically toolbar wallpaper images while the Real Themes are https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/complete-themes/

Thank you James!

the 64K question is still how to delete them

Usually there would be a theme file somewhere on your system.

not very helpful info

Usually there would be a theme file somewhere on your system.

Compact themes are "build into Firefox". Nothing to delete or uninstall there.
They are not active, if the default theme is, so no need to worry about them.


If someone really needs to hide the two compact themes in add-on managers "appearance" area, here is the code for it:

Code: Select all

@-moz-document url-prefix(chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.xul), url-prefix(about:addons) {
  richlistitem[value="firefox-compact-dark@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org"],
  richlistitem[value="firefox-compact-light@mozilla.org@personas.mozilla.org"]{
    display: none !important;
  }
}

Add code to userChrome.css, userContent.css, Stylish style or CTRs custom css area.

@Aris - Kind of suspected they were coded in.
Did a pretty thorough search on two different systems and was unable to find a specific related theme file as in the past.
Thanks for the confirmation.

I have 2 unwanted themes(skins) located in Appearance; 1)Compact Light... and 2)Compact Dark... both are unneeded and unwanted !

there is also a default theme which has always been a part of FF which I have no problem with; FF should not be inserting unwanted, unneeded and unremovable modules into my personal application
