Customize Firefox from the command line and control all your custom userChrome CSS themes with one tool!

Overview

As of Firefox 57 (the Quantum Update), Mozilla has enabled custom user customization using userChrome.css. This file is found in the chrome folder of your profile and allows you to customize the look of your browser. There is a huge community around this sort of themeing and it can get easy to mess up your theme or lose it when you install a new theme. With Foxify you have the ability to manage your themes for Firefox and apply them dynamically!

Foxify was heavily inspired by the command-line program Spiceify for Spotify, which offers similiar features but for Spotify!

Features:

  • Easy Theme Management for Firefox Themes

  • Safe Backups and Restores of Themes

  • Easily Remove Custom Themes Entirely
