In recent years, Mozilla is channeling its research and development process through Test pilot programs to carry out new experiments which involve a transparent process that would allow users to share their ideas for Firefox. Mozilla’s test pilot is an opt-in platform that lets a user choose an experiment to test, try out some new features and product concepts, and share feedback for Firefox before bringing them to live on the browser. Recently, Firefox has been testing quite a number of experimental extensions which gives users more customization options. Themes are the important part of Firefox that would determine your browsers’ visual appearance. The organization recently launched Firefox Color experiment for test pilot that would allow you to create your own Firefox themes and share your creations with others or save them for yourself. The new experiment is designed to give users more control over the visual appearance of Firefox. Moreover, the Firefox color allows you to create a custom theme and change color for every UI element of the browser. The Firefox color is a simple tool that lets you pick background textures and unique color combinations for creating your own Firefox theme. The new feature gives full flexibility to customize browser theme in a way you want with just a few clicks.
