Firefox: How to Customize the Browser

Posted on March 30, 2022 by Judy Sanhz Leave a Comment

When it’s possible to give the browser you’re using your own personal touch, it’s more pleasant to use. With Firefox, there are various things you can change to give the browser your own personal touch. You can choose from different colors and designs and if you ever get bored, change them at any time.

How to Add a Theme to Firefox

To give Firefox the look you want, you’ll need to go to the add-ons page. You can choose from a very long list of themes to choose from. When you’re on the page, scroll down a little, and you’ll see the themes option. They’ll be separated into two sections: Recommended themes and trending themes.

If you don’t see a theme you like on the main page, click on the see more themes option. You can search for your new themes by scrolling. Or, you can use the search tool to find a specific style.

How to Customize the Home Page for Firefox

When you access the home page for Firefox, it’s beneficial to see the thumbnails of the sites you frequently visit. But, if you’ve never changed anything, you’ll only see popular sites that aren’t the ones you want to have there. The good news is that changing the thumbnail on the home page is easy.

What you can do first is remove the ones you are not going to need. Place the cursor over the first one you want to erase until you see the three dots. Click on the dots and choose the remove option.
