Top 11 Firefox themes

There are a lot of bad Firefox themes out there. Skip the fluff and head straight for the chocolatey centre. Indulge your aesthetic side with a trip through our favourite Firefox 2 themes.

No. 11: Modern Modoki
Minimalism lives, and quite naturally with Modern Modoki, a stone-grey theme that's perfect for the Web surfer or developer who wants his or her browser to fade into nonexistence. It's clean, it's clear, hey ... it's Netscape 8! Or is it 6? It's both: The look of 8 with the colour scheme of versions 6 and 7. Its nigh invisibility makes it a solid choice for the mysterious 11th spot.

Most importantly, of course, it works with most major Firefox extensions with interface-altering features such as the pictured two-paned bookmarks and All-in-One Sidebar.

I like all their pink themes. The dark themes though are great for seniors with poor vision.
