Customize Firefox with cool themes.

Today i am going to show you how to make your Firefox look beautiful and attractive. For those guys who never tried Mozilla Firefox, my advice is to try it once. It quickly gained new fans because of its open source license and multitude of features. Multiple new versions have been released since 2004, with each update adding more features and improved security.

Some of Firefox's specialized features include pop-up blockers and advanced privacy settings. Firefox also offers tabbed browsing. You can open more than one website in your browser window, and tabs on the screen allow you to easily switch between them.Firefox is the one of the fastest browser. you can find its more featurehere
Download Firefox here

Now back to topic. open Firefox and copy paste the link below in your Firefox address bar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

Now type "anycolor" (without quotes) in search bar of the site you opened as shown in the screen shot below. and hit enter

Now it will search for anycolor Add-on. After searching it will show you the anycolor addon on top as shown in the screenshot below. click on the option called "Add to firefox(Windows)"

when you click on the option a new window will pop up, asking you to install. click on install to install it to your Firefox. As shown in the Screen shot below.

After installation complete it will ask you to restart your Firefox to take effect. so simply click restart.

When your Firefox restarts it will open 1 extra window called "Add-ons". On that window you will find the add-on, we just installed (Anycolor). select the anycolor Add-on if it is not selected. you will find 3 option in this add-on. Click on option as shown in screenshot.

it will open new window called "AnyColor preference". Now you can see lot of themes here but don't apply any one of them for now. Just click on the option "Get more presets". its located in bottom left corner of the window just above the preview option.

It will divert you to a different site.you will find more themes or presets here. For now look for After Dark:Black preset and click on "Add" As shown in screen shot below most probably it will be on top.

Just after clicking "Add" option it will ask you two options, Apply and save. i recommend you to click on save.

After clicking save A new window will pop-up called "New Preset", click on OK. and click OK again to the next window called "AnyColor Preference".
All done. your Firefox is now more attractive than ever before. In future You can change the themes by going to AnyColor option.
Let me clear here that the Google page you are seeing in the screen shot is black. It is not because of the anycolor theme.
If you wanna know how to make your Google black and make your orkut profile by applying different theme. go to my next post.
