Is possible put firefox XP Theme default on Firefox theme default windows 7? Because I love light grey of XP Theme default and don't like blue color of windows 7 theme default.

For this reason I use Firefox with compatible mode XP SP3 on Windows 7. But ideally if could just put the XP theme that comes default in firefox for Windows XP on Windows 7.

Hi REiT, Thank you for your question. There used to be an add on that did this for version 3 but it no longer is supported. I did not find an extension that does this, and if you select to change the them of the OS all other programs are affected. I do not know, I hope another contributor can help.

guigs2 I had an answer for this but never put it. Thanks for "bumping" it for me :)

REiT If you only want to change the window border around Firefox, you can't without a third party application such as WindowBlinds and if you do decide to go that route, you have to pay or obtain it through other less legal ways. Please note that this application changes the entire Windows theme and not just Windows border so if you want to use an XP Grey theme on Windows 7, it'll change everything from the start button to the icons.

I did find a Brushed Metal theme similar to the Grey XP theme but it's probably not what you are looking for

Thanks both for answering.

I don't want a "extra" software and themes/personas there are not near style the original theme firefox in XP.

You can see here how looks like my firefox: http://postimg.org/image/fn61qmst1/

So, my only solution is run firefox on mode compatibel XP SP3? :(

Is possible do request to mozzila for put original XP theme available for download?

That's the usual Windows Aero experience.

No it's not possible since the window border and essential the whole theme of Windows 7 borders around it being Windows 7. If you want Firefox to look like Windows XP you have two options

  1. Get WindowBlinds like I suggested above
  2. Downgrade to XP to get the default XP look (not recommended obviously as XP is no longer supported by Microsoft and would open you up to a bunch of nasty stuff)

Other than those two there's really no other options I see.

When I put mode compatible XP SP3 on Windows 7 Firefox changed for XP default theme. Firefox in this case don't use "Windows 7 borders". So, Firefox have "XP Default Theme" built himself. Would be great if the mozilla please make it available for lovers of this style like me.
