The Personas add-on changes the skin of the Mozilla Firefox browser. This is the plugin I use. Notice what the top of my browser looks like. It is designed in Mozilla style.
There are skins on a variety of topics. In general, the tastes of many users are taken into account.
The add-on can be downloaded and installed from this link. Read how to install the add-on. After installing the add-on in the add-ons panel ( if it is displayed for you, if not, go to View - Toolbar, there check the add-ons panel checkbox) the face of a fox will appear. If you click on it, a menu will appear in which you can select a skin.

The skins can also be viewed on the Personas website. The variety is enormous.
These are the goodies and decorations.
Firefox themes are special add-ons for the graphic design of the browser. Using them, you can set a different background in the control panel, change the appearance of buttons, and change the font color on the tabs.
For Mazil you can download two types of themes:
Background ones are “light” themes. They only change the background image in the top panel of FF and its color scheme.
Full themes - perform more serious modifications.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Not long ago I wrote an article about a fairly popular one in the world and mentioned there that the highlight of this program is that it initially contained only a basic set of properties, and everything else was left to add-ons.
It’s clear that it’s not worth even dreaming of covering all the more or less worthwhile plugins for Firefox, however, I’ll try to focus on those that I use myself. First, I think I’ll review the add-ons that help webmasters and SEO specialists in their hard work, and then move on to commonly used extensions.
I also hope that you will mention your favorites in the comments, indicating their names and a brief description of their capabilities. I really hope to learn something useful for myself.
The best Mazila extensions for everyone
- Fireshot is an add-on for Mazila that allows you to take screenshots. There are a lot of possibilities both for taking screenshots (it can easily take a picture not only of the visible area, but of the entire web page), and for their subsequent editing, adding graphic or text indicators and annotations. It seems to me that it can be very useful for webmasters, and ordinary Internet users too. .
This plugin has a number of features that can be useful not only for webmasters, but also for ordinary users. So, Neiron Search Tools is installed in the browser and allows you to:
In general, the extension turned out to be quite interesting with a number of unique and popular functions.Add-ons for Firefox to help webmasters
is a plugin for Mozilla that needs no introduction. Using the link provided, you can find an article describing all its capabilities, which, believe me, are quite a few. Previously, this was generally the only convenient option for dissecting the code of your own or someone else’s website.
Now the situation has changed significantly and in almost all popular browsers you will find a tool similar to Firebug, and this tool will already be built into the program from the very beginning. However, it was Firebug that became the starting point for such abundance:
- In Opera, you need to select “Inspect Element” from the context menu of the web page element you are interested in.
- Just select “View element code” from the context menu
- B - “Check object”
- And in Firefox itself from Mazila you can use not Firebug, but select “Examine element” from the context menu
But still, this plugin is superior in capabilities to its built-in analogues. It itself can serve as a home for other extensions. For example, the YSlow loading speed meter or the same Google Assistant for site acceleration, which lives inside this particular add-on for Mozilla. In general, I advise you to try it or at least skim through the article that I cited at the beginning.
— this plugin does not have as many clones as the one described above (in Safari, however, there are tools for developers that implement something similar), but sometimes it is simply irreplaceable.
It will be especially useful for beginner webmasters, for whom it is not yet commonplace. Follow the link below to find a detailed article describing all the features of this wonderful add-on.
- - serves not for benefit or convenience, but for increasing such an indicator of your site as . This indicator indirectly reflects the site, which means it can be indirectly useful to you. If you work with your resource through Mozilla Firefox, then do not install this plugin in it - as a result, the Alexa numbers for your resource will decrease slightly (which is good).
- - follow the link below to find an article describing the capabilities of this powerful add-on for Firefox. It will be useful primarily to those who deal with foreign ( who buys links, for example, in, or posts articles in). Using it, you can quite easily and clearly see all the ins and outs of the site, which can become a donor for your backlink.
- Flagfox - in the address bar shows the flag of the country where the server of the site opened in Firefox is located (read about that). By left-clicking on the flag, you can find out the exact location of the server, and by right-clicking, you can see a context menu with many options, including.
SeoQuake is a real alternative to the SEO plugin for Mozilla described just above. It can also display many different parameters of the open page on the fly using the toolbar located at the top, but also in search results can add information lines for each site:
It has a lot of settings that are hidden in the context menu of the icon located in the upper right corner of the browser window.
BBCodeXtra - when you write a message on a forum, quite often there is a need to insert BB codes (or format the text in some other way). Entering tags or BB codes every time is tiring, and a visual editor will not always be available. This is where a Mozilla Firefox plugin called BBCodeXtra comes in handy.
Place the cursor in the desired text field of the desired Html form and select insert BB codes or tags from the context menu:
https://site
Rainbow Color Tools is a small but useful add-on for Mazila that allows you to capture color from the screen with just one click. When making layouts, the need for selection often arises, and sometimes the easiest way to do this is by capturing it from the screen (the eyedropper tool). There are a great many programs for these purposes, but a browser plugin looks like a more attractive solution.
Once installed, you will find a rainbow icon in the top right area of the window. By left-clicking on it, you can get the color code for any part of the screen by simply moving the mouse over it and left-clicking on the shade of interest. Its code will be copied to the clipboard, which is very convenient.
The arrow located to the right of the icon will allow you to view all previously captured colors using this add-on, as well as open the palette and see the main color scheme of the site opened in the browser.
Themes and wallpapers for Mozilla
Let's start with Wallpaper for Mazila. In fact, wallpapers are a simplified version of full-fledged themes (when installed, only the background fill with color or toolbar image changes) and in order to understand how well a particular wallpaper suits your browser, you just need to move the mouse to the thumbnail you like, and you will see how this disgrace will look on your pet:
If you are satisfied with the preliminary testing of the wallpaper, then to install it you need to click on the version of the simplified theme you like and in the window that opens click on the “Add to Firefox” button:
Now regarding themes for Mazila Firefox. They differ from wallpapers in that they have more weight and change not only the appearance of the toolbar, but also the design of the browser control buttons, and also make changes to a number of other little things. You won’t be able to try out full-fledged themes without installation, so go directly to downloading it and click on the “Add to Firefox” button.
Wait until the theme is fully loaded (sometimes they are quite heavy), confirm your desire to see this masterpiece in Mozilla, after which a prompt to restart the browser will appear in the top area. Do this and see what changes the new theme has made (crawl through all the nooks and crannies).
If the downloaded and installed theme does not delight you, then no one is stopping you from continuing your search and trying on. However, there are situations when you need to return to a previously established topic, but you no longer remember what it was called. In this case, you will need to go to the following path “Add-ons” - “Appearance” tab:
Your current theme will appear first (its name is written brightly) and the “Delete” button will be placed next to it. You can use it, but if you still need this theme, you can simply click on the “Enable” button next to any of the ones you previously installed in Mozilla Firefox. The default theme is called Default and, unlike others, it will not be possible to delete it.
Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Extensions and themes for Google Chrome
Not only many familiar extensions stopped working, but also design themes. In particular, we lost several excellent dark themes that were quite popular.
For example, the FT DeepDark theme from the author steva attracted more than 11 thousand users. However, now next to it, as well as opposite many other design themes, in the official catalog there is an inscription: “This add-on is not compatible with your version of Firefox.”
It's a shame. However, today we decided to remind you that Firefox has built-in themes, including dark.
Enable dark theme
If you didn’t know this at all before, then finding these topics won’t be difficult. Open the main page and go to the “edit” section.
At the bottom of the tab that opens there is a button that hides the theme selection menu. There are several options, including a light theme, a green “pastel gradient” and a light brown “web browser renaissance” theme. There is also a blue theme with stars called “space fantasy”. But we are interested in Firefox's dark theme:
By the way, if you don’t like the changes made and want to return the original design, then the standard Firefox theme, as you can see, is located there. Sometimes when changing themes, its name changes to English Default. Don't worry: it's still the same basic default theme.
But let's return to the dark. This is what she looks like:
The active tab is dark, the background tabs are even darker (closer to the black theme). The entire toolbar and address bar also become completely dark. The menu and other interface elements, however, remain the same.
We also remind you that starting from version 57, you can change the size of interface elements:
