How to Build a Detroit Lions Theme on Firefox
Mozilla provides you with tools to customize Firefox including theme extensions that change the look of the browser. Detroit Lions fans who have created team-inspired artwork can build themes known as Personas to customize Firefox header and footer backgrounds. Building a theme requires that you set up Firefox to accept custom themes and test your artwork to see if you like it as theme. After that, follow Mozilla’s current Personas artwork dimension and file size submission guidelines to submit the theme for entry in the public catalog, where you and other Firefox users can add it to the browser.
