Firefox’s new color system is a beautiful addition that makes the browser more visually appealing. The system uses a mix of hexadecimal and rgb colors to create different looks, and it’s easy to use. To get started, open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the main window. This will open a menu with three options: “Appearance,” “Settings,” and “Theme.” In “Appearance,” you can choose how Firefox looks by selecting from one of six default themes. You can also create your own theme by selecting one of five available templates. In “Settings,” you can change how Firefox works by adjusting its settings. You can choose whether Firefox starts automatically when you start up the computer, whether it runs in portrait or landscape mode, whether it uses a desktop shortcut instead of a menu, and whether it uses cookies or not. You can also set how much data Firefox saves when you close the browser and how often it updates its cache. Finally, in “Theme,” you can select a specific look for Firefox. There are six available themes, each with its own unique features and colors. To get started, select one of these themes from the list on the left side of the window: Pirate Ship (a dark blue), Desert Sunrise (a light green), Jungle Cruise (a deep red), Snowy Evening (a white), or Summer Nights (a hot pink).
Firefox 94 was released a few days ago, and it didn’t generate as much excitement as some versions of the browser. However, it has a pretty cool new visual feature called Colorways that brings colored themes to the browser but only for a limited time.
Mozilla announced the new feature on its blog. The company said, “With 94, you’ll find a selection of six fun seasonal Colorways (available for a limited time only). Now you can find a color to suit (or lift) your every mood.”
Basically, there are six different colors to choose from, and each has three levels of intensity, giving you a total of 18 different theming options to choose from. They all have soothing names like Abstract, Lush, and so on.
What’s odd is that Mozilla says the themes are “available for a limited time only.” It seems weird to roll out a new feature designed to “suit (or lift) your every mood” and have it disappear after a while. Perhaps the company is trying to gauge user interest before it decides to implement and expand upon the feature in the future.

Additionally, it appears as though Firefox is trying to get more people to use the feature, as some users are reporting that a popup is alerting them of the Colorways and pushing them to give it a try. This might be a little intrusive to some people, but perhaps the tradeoff of getting soothing colors is worth it.
