HELP: Used Bad FireFox Theme
Friday, December 16, 2005 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Does anyone know here how to change the theme for FireFox without turning it on?
I can't change anything on FireFox with the current theme working right now.
Thank you for your help.

You can also rename the folder ( C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*****.default)(you will have a series of numbers & letters in place of the asterisks
)
I just rename the Mozilla folder "Old_Mozilla"
Then uninstall Firefox, reboot, reinstall Firefox. Then start copying extensions and themes from the old folder to the new one. Once you see which theme re-creates your problem, just delete it.
This is a good way to isolate FF problems, but still keep all of your bookmarks and settings.

Almost forgot, you will have to have the "Show hidden Files" selected in your Folder Options if you want to be able to see the Application Data folder.
