Updated Mozilla and now I am stuck with a theme I keep disabling

Hello!

I recently updated Firefox, and it took me to a page where I could create my own browser theme, and while I was on that page, or just after it, I accidentally enabled a light blue polka-dot theme. I didn't mean to do that, because I liked the theme I had, but I cannot get it to stop automatically showing this theme. When I go to themes and extensions, it says I have a completely different theme running, but it's not the theme I see.

I disabled it, and shut down Firefox, and when I first restart the browser, it shows the non theme, but then quickly goes back to having these polka dots.

I liked the gradient I had previously, and I am wondering how I can get that back, since my current theme is not even showing as actively running, so I can't figure out how to stop it.

Thanks!

You appear to be running an unstable Nightly 110.0a1 build and not the more stable 108 release, so there can always be issues or unexpected changes. Do/did you use the Firefox Color website and its extension to create your own theme ?

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window
