Note: A new version of Firefox for Android, based on GeckoView, is under development. A pre-release version is available. The pre-release version does not support themes.

Image formats

The following image formats are supported in all theme image properties:

  • JPEG
  • PNG
  • APNG
  • SVG (animated SVG is supported from Firefox 59)
  • GIF (animated GIF isn't supported)

Syntax

The theme key is an object that takes the following properties:

Name Type Description
images Object

A JSON object whose properties represent the images to display in various parts of the browser. See images for details on the properties that this object can contain.

colors Object

Mandatory.

A JSON object whose properties represent the colors of various parts of the browser. See colors for details on the properties that this object can contain.

properties Object

Optional

This object has properties that affect how the "additional_backgrounds" images are displayed and color schemes are applied. See properties for details on the properties that this object can contain.

images

All URLs are relative to the manifest.json file and cannot reference an external URL.

Images should be 200 pixels high to ensure they always fill the header space vertically.

Name Type Description
theme_frame String

The URL of a foreground image to be added to the header area and anchored to the upper right corner of the header area.

Note: Chrome anchors the image to the top left of the header and if the image doesn't fill the header area tile the image.

Optional in desktop Firefox 60 onwards. Required in Firefox for Android.

additional_backgrounds Array of String

Warning: The additional_backgrounds property is experimental. It is currently accepted in release versions of Firefox, but its behavior is subject to change. It is not supported in Firefox for Android.

An array of URLs for additional background images to be added to the header area and displayed behind the "theme_frame": image. These images layer the first image in the array on top, the last image in the array at the bottom.

Optional.

By default all images are anchored to the upper right corner of the header area, but their alignment and repeat behavior can be controlled by properties of "properties":.

colors

These properties define the colors used for different parts of the browser. They are all optional. How these properties affect the Firefox UI is shown here:

Overview of the color properties and how they apply to Firefox UI components

Note: Where a component is affected by multiple color properties, the properties are listed in order of precedence.

All these properties can be specified as either a string containing any valid CSS color string (including hexadecimal), or an RGB array, such as "tab_background_text": [ 107 , 99 , 23 ].

Note: In Chrome, colors may only be specified as RGB arrays.

In Firefox for Android colors can be specified using:

  • full hexadecimal notation, that is #RRGGBB only. alpha and shortened syntax, as in #RGB[A], are not supported.
  • Functional notation (RGB arrays) for themes targeting Firefox 68.2 or later.

Colors for Firefox for Android themes cannot be specified using color names.

   },
   "properties": {
     "additional_backgrounds_alignment": [ "left top", "top", "right top"]
   },
   "colors": {
     "frame": "blue",
     "tab_background_text": "#ffffff"
   }
 }

You can also fill the header with a repeated image, or images, in this case a single image anchored in the middle top of the header and repeated across the rest of the header:

json
 "theme": {
   "images": {
     "additional_backgrounds": [ "images/logo.png"]
   },
   "properties": {
     "additional_backgrounds_alignment": [ "top" ],
     "additional_backgrounds_tiling": [ "repeat"  ]
   },
   "colors": {
     "frame": "green",
     "tab_background_text": "#000"
   }
 }

The following example uses most of the different values for theme.colors:

json
  "theme": {
    "images": {
      "theme_frame": "weta.png"
    },

    "colors": {
       "frame": "darkgreen",
       "tab_background_text": "white",
       "toolbar": "blue",
       "bookmark_text": "cyan",
       "toolbar_field": "orange",
       "toolbar_field_border": "white",
       "toolbar_field_text": "green",
       "toolbar_top_separator": "red",
       "toolbar_bottom_separator": "white",
       "toolbar_vertical_separator": "white"
    }
  }

It will give you a browser that looks like this:

A browser window with two open tabs and dark green background color in the header area. The inactive tab has a white text color. The active tab and the toolbar have a blue background color with cyan-colored text. The URL bar has an orange background with white borders, a green text color and a white-colored vertical line separator. A red-colored line is used to separate the tabs on the top and a white line to separate the tabs from the content bellow them.

In this screenshot, "toolbar_vertical_separator" is the white vertical line in the URL bar dividing the Reader Mode icon from the other icons.

Browser compatibility

BCD tables only load in the browser

Chrome compatibility

In Chrome:

  • colors/toolbar_text is not used, use colors/bookmark_text instead.

  • images/theme_frame anchors the image to the top left of the header and if the image doesn't fill the header area tile the image.

  • all colors must be specified as an array of RGB values, like this:

    json
    "theme": {
  "colors": {
     "frame": [255, 0, 0],
     "tab_background_text": [0, 255, 0],
     "bookmark_text": [0, 0, 255]
  }
}

    From Firefox 59 onward, both the array form and the CSS color form are accepted for all properties. Before that, colors/frame and colors/tab_background_text required the array form, while other properties required the CSS color form.
