CLI firefox them install

PatrickNew · 03-12-2007, 10:37 PM

I am trying to find a way to install and apply a Firefox theme from some form of scriptable interface. Is this possible? I see no reference from "firefox --help", nor in "man firefox". The closest I've been is a reference to config files in the manpage, but there doesn't seem to be any entry regarding themes.

Can it be done?

Take a look at the script at http://www.pcbypaul.com/linux/firefox_theme.html.
The javascript at that site prompts the user to select the theme file from within the browser, but could be rewritten to point to a specific theme jar file.
Then, you could script installing the theme as simply:
firefox theme_install.html

Good luck!
