Comment (by dwt):

 It seems surprisingly hard to create a theme for Firefox. Though it has a
 facility to doÂ[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-
 ons/Themes/Lightweight_themes lightweight themes], which would be perfect
 for this bug,Âthose seemingly cannot be installed from a file and thus
 cannot be distributed with tor browser.

 The obvious alternative is to create a full theme, but that seems to
 entail copying all internal styles from firefox and re-creating all the
 changes they applied for their lightweight theme support. Not to mention
 that this then needs to be recopied and maintained for each new firefox
 version. :-/ Not pretty. :-/

 I'm currently looking into mixed forms, i.e. a Firefox plugin that will
 install the theme on demand, but I'm not having any luck trying this out,
 or finding any documentation that explains how this would have to be done.
 Some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 I'm currently also
 [https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=20223 asking for
 guidance on the mozilla developer forum]Â- is there any better place to
 ask about this?
