These Mozilla-specific tools are used to change how interface elements in Firefox look and behave. In addition to user-facing features, Firefox also wants to move away from its XUL and XBL markup languages. Smedberg hopes to have a revised plan for Firefox themes by December. On a bugtracking thread on Mozilla’s site, Mozilla senior engineering manager Benjamin Smedberg says Firefox lightweight themes may get some added features from complete themes, such as the ability to change icons or colors of the entire browser. The change will not dump lightweight themes that just add color or an image to the top of the Firefox window. When installed, complete themes overhaul pretty much every aspect of Firefox’s visual chrome (all the browser stuff that isn’t the webpage). Mozilla is also getting rid of complete or “heavyweight” themes, as reported in early November by The Windows Club. The open source organization is using the internal name “great-or-dead” for this effort. Mozilla says it plans on dumping features that have few users but take up significant time and effort to maintain and improve.

Making some hard choices about how Firefox works and where Mozilla spends its energies is probably long overdue. Why this matters: Firefox is a very good browser, but it often seems behind the curve compared to the frantic pace and new features coming to Google Chrome.
