Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be supported by the current version of Firefox, but there are workarounds if you want to try it. You can also get an older version of firefox just to try it.

This theme amuses me greatly. The color scheme is bright reds/greens/yellows and browns on black. It's not the best theme in terms of usability, aesthetic tastes aside, but that's not my point of bringing this up.

Its aesthetics...are absolutely obnoxious. They are So Bad, It's Good. In my opinion at least. I don't know why, but the thought of graphics people (such as our very own Anonymous User) cringing at the sight of this thing amuses me.

Speaking of which, I want to hear your take on this theme, Anonus.

Kind of.

I would be over on IJBM 2 if not for the fact that this theme actually amuses me far more than it bugs me.

I guess someone's nostalgic for Geocities.

That is just... painful.

(And this is coming from a guy who doesn't understand why modern BMW styling is considered ugly...)

No, that's why you need a simple about:config hack to enable incompatible themes and extensions.

@Fusch: BMW styling in the Bangle period (which is now over, and they're blanding out their cars again) was considered ugly because they were attempting cutting-edge styling for a conservative market that didn't like change.

It's notable to me that other manufacturers, like Toyota, have taken on aspects of that styling in their vehicles.

A brighter future for a darker age.
