Some of their simple themes have over 100k users so I guess nobody really wants to have a country flag as a theme?

    I have tried those flashy browser themes (dark, grey or retro colors, wild designs) but in the end, I always switch back to Mozilla’s plain Dark theme. No distractions. It’s simple and straightforward like a good, reliable tool should be.

    This is interesting.

    • America does not have an official flag theme, but countries like the UK (127 users), Mexico (30 users) and Canada (59 users) have theirs. Even Venezuela has one with a single user.
    • Puerto Rico has two themes, though the second is named "Puerto Rico 3". There's no flag for California, Texas, or DC.
    • The most popular official flag theme is Flag India 2, at 261 users. An additional 29 use Flag India
    • The Palestinian flag has not one, but two official flag themes, totalling at 49 users
    • The Israeli flag has a theme and six people use it
    • Tibet does not have a flag theme, but China and Taiwan both do
    • Russia (3 users) and Ukraine (21 users) are both represented
    • South Korea is only Korea
    • There are two Iran themes. Flag of Iran is a neutral tricolor without any emblem in the middle; Flag of Iran 2 uses the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran with the emblem of the Republic in the middle. No love for the monarchist lion and sun.

    Thats because none of them can beat the hellmo theme (animated)
    But probably more because the very simple designs that others have flooded with more interesting stuff

    A lot of themes, especially with striped flags, mess with UI border perception. The user is often irritated and misclicks, because the stripes and contrasts of the background make it seem an element starts on a different position, etc..

    TIL these themes are still a thing. I used to have fun with them in the Firefox 2 (or 3?) era.

    Didn't they stop working or something when they switched from the previous XUL (I think that was the name) format?
