I made second extension that will switch themes. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... emes-menu/ It is not reviewed yet. I've added an option to automatically restart the application on theme switch through the menu. You can disable it if you are using Personas (or you just don't want the app restarted.) I have not tested it much, but it seems to work. I reused almost all of the Extension Options Menu code, so I had to rename functions in the code. I used find & replace in Wordpad to do that. There may have been things I missed. Let me know if there are any problems.

I've updated Themes Menu to version 1.1. Since it is not reviewed it won't be automatically updated. There should be no useability changes. I was calling AddonManager.jsm twice and I simplified the code to display an icon for the default theme.

Thanks for those.

One suggestion. Maybe the "Themes Menu" could highlight the theme currently being used.

Version 1.2 adds a check mark to the selected theme.

Hi, a suggestion: I think that the options menu will look more integrated to the Firefox menu if it is added directly inside of 'Add-ons' element, transforming it in a splitmenu.

Yeah, it could be improved as the tick hides the theme icon, but I was happy with anything that showed me the current theme in use. But yeah, bold or highlighted would be better.
