1502086 - Firefox Color 2.0 doesn't revert back to the theme I'm using when I close the add-on out

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Thomas James "Tom" Seymour]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to create themes of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New England, and the eastern provinces of Canada beginning with Ontario. I'm still trying to figure out how to use Firefox Color, so I didn't save anything. I will contribute several themes to Firefox every month once Firefox Color gets significant reliability and user friendliness improvements. It also needs to have a file size limit of more than 1.0 MB, maybe 6.9 MB just like there is when I contribute a theme on the Firefox add-ons website rather than in the add-on will work. I can't size down all my images to under 1 MB because I need them high-quality for best results, especially on screens over 1920x1080 pixels.


Actual results:

I had to disable my New Jersey Devils theme in Add-ons under the hamburger menu and then immediately enable it again since the in-progress theme I didn't save stayed what was showing up in the theme area of Firefox 63.0 Stable on Windows 10 version 1809. If this will help, I'm using Firefox on a 15.6" full HD Dell Inspiron 7558 2-in-1 I got in March of 2016. I may replace it with a Lenovo 15.6" full HD 2-in-1 in October of next year to upgrade from a USB 3.0 port to at least a USB 3.1 port and Bluetooth 4.2.


Expected results:

I need the New Jersey Devils theme or otherwise the theme I have enabled to come back if I close Firefox Color and don't save anything in the add-on. I know it's only an experimental add-on as of October 25, 2018, but since it's going to fully replace the old Personas Plus Firefox add-on on November 30, 2018, five days over a month from now, I need all the annoyances with Firefox Color fixed before November 30, 2018 arrives. I plan to contribute many, many themes to Firefox with the pictures I take of Canada and the northeastern United States, including Delaware, Maryland and DC. It will mean a lot to me once Firefox Color becomes as easy to use and hassle-free as it possibly can be. All I contribute will be under a creative commons license, since I love to photograph places, especially state/provincial and county/municipal parks to make friends, not money, property, or anything of value. I'll revise my review for the Firefox Color add-on every four weeks, starting with a revision of it right after I post this on bugzilla.mozilla.org. It would also be great if Firefox Color showed up in "Devices and Apps" when I manage my Firefox Sync account to maximize user friendliness across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android just like Firefox Add-ons and Pocket does! I'll always expect updates to Firefox Color from time to time to keep it very easy to use.
