I have a older theme that isn't available anymore on another computer. Is there anyway to pull it up from there and add it to my current computer?

It is an appearance theme located on my laptop and wanted to transfer it to my desktop Firefox. The theme is no longer available on Firefox Addons.

Is that a theme or a persona?


If it is a theme and that theme is no longer there then it is possible that the theme is not compatible with your Firefox 4.0.1 version.

It is a persona. I am using FireFox 4.0.1 on my other computer and the persona still works. It just doesn't seem to be available in the list of personas i've searched through. Is the addon itself saved anywhere within the computer so that I can just transfer the file/s to have it run on another computer?

Copy the two files lightweighttheme-header and lightweighttheme-footer that have the persona images to the Firefox profile folder.
Copy these lines to a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.


user_pref("lightweightThemes.isThemeSelected", true);
user_pref("lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL", true);
user_pref("lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL", true);
user_pref("lightweightThemes.usedThemes", "[{\"id\":\"1\",\"name\":\"Unknown\",\"accentcolor\":\"-moz-dialog\",\"textcolor\":\"black\",\"description\":\"Unknown\",\"author\":\"Unknown\",\"headerURL\":\"\"http://getpersonas-cdn.mozilla.net/static/\",\"footerURL\":\"\"http://getpersonas-cdn.mozilla.net/static/\",\"previewURL\":\"\",\"iconURL\":\"\":\"\"}]");
