quoted material: want to display > instead of quote bars
This article (last revised 2011) http://kb.mozillazine.org/Quote_bars says to use the "quote colors" extension, which doesn't work in rev 45. It seems to date back to rev 3.1.
I want to see: > quoted material > quoted material

But that may not work in the title or in quote blocks. Also, bear in mind that this forum knows how to parse html markup so may just try to treat it as part of a tag. I often use < to generate a < character, and there I had to use & to generate the &.
I think one of Kaosmos's addons will be useful to you; ChangeQuote or QuoteAndComposeManager.

I don't speak HTML.
Neither of those addons has a feature that says "instead of denoting quotes with vertical blue bars, put a ">" symbol at the start of each line of quoted material. Add another > for each nested layer of quoted material."
