I have been a faithful developer of themes for Mozilla (from M10 till 3.7a1 onwards), but if 3.6 is essentially throwing/forcing people of my themes, I will stop further development and support of Mozilla, especially Firefox. Introducing a new feature is nice, but forcing out extension developers in this way is NOT nice... P.s. as said in the forum on mozillazine, AMO expects themes to support all features of the application before it is allowed. I would expect the same vice versa.

We can't mirror the images, as this wouldn't make sense for certain images (e.g. those with text or a asymmetrical logo). That said, UI widgets overlaying the images also happens with LTR quite often. I tried to address this by using text-shadow to make text more readable on vivid backgrounds.

Personas currently don't deal with it well enough, so it make the UI widgets to overlap the background image while using Arabic/Farsi/Hebrew Firefox. How does this deal with RTL UI?

But how do I get back to Firefox's default theme? And wouldn't it be better to allow some sort of live preview on hover for all sites, so I can see in advance if the theme is going to make my UI unreadable? Very nice!

You should maybe try a new profile and then file a bug if it still doesn't work. You'll be able to install lightweight themes from getpersonas.com soon. It should work in Minefield.

I previously went to Page Info > Permissions and enabled the "Themes or Extensions installation" option. I'm very happy to you the new feature works perfectly! Not so in Minefield. Any idea why? Would this be a bug? Any idea where else could I find these kind of theme to try? Keep up your good work! Many thanks. Best regards, Gabriela Hi Dao,
