From the Firefox Update Themes Page:
“Themes are skins for Firefox. They allow you to change the look and feel of the user interface and personalize it to your tastes. A theme can simply change the colors of Firefox or it can change every piece of its appearance.”
How Do I Install A Theme?
Browse the large selection of themes available for Firefox and when you find a theme you like follow the instructions on the page to download and install.
Notes:
