/ // / / ☔ RainFox 5.3 // / / /


It's like Photon, just better

Started as a remix of MaterialFox and QuietFox, the current goal of this userChrome style is to make Firefox interface smoother, more consistent and theme-adaptive. After Proton redesign came in, this style also tends to be a mix of old and new UIs with additional features and tweaks.

The idea behind this style is to keep Proton UI clarity and simplicity while re-implementing nice and unique Photon's icons and general look & feel.



/ // / / Features / // / /

Keep in mind this style is modular, you can easily enable/disable almost everything you want! (how?)

Over 90 good ol' Photon UI icons

Pre-Proton-styled rounded tabs

Photon-ish context menus and panels!

Animated auto-hide bookmarks panel

Animated auto-hide "Forward" button

Hourglass tab loading animation

[ disabled by default ]
Paranoia mode (unselected tabs are hidden until you hover it)

..and more!


/ / // / Installation // / //

  1. Make sure you're using Mozilla Firefox 96 or newer
  2. Download the latest build from Code > Download ZIP and extract folder rainfox-master (or whatever it called)
  3. Go to about:profiles, find your profile, open root folder and create a folder chrome inside of it. If the folder already exists, wipe all its content
  4. Move everything from rainfox-master to chrome (not the folder itself!)
  5. Now open about:config and change these keys to true:
    • toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets (enables userChrome stylesheets)
    • layout.css.color-mix.enabled (allows color-mixes, used for context menus hover and active states)
    • svg.context-properties.content.enabled (allows SVG icons use theme colors)
  6. [optionally] If you want your HTTPS connection icon to be green, set this key to false:
    • security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray
  7. Restart Firefox. PROFIT!
