2005887 - browser.theme.toolbar-theme no longer works

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

[Sören Hentzschel]

The issue that browser.theme.toolbar-theme no longer works has been reported in the Firefox Support, and I can confirm it.

1. Install the Firefox theme https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-c/
2. use the following policies.json content:

{
  "policies": {
    "Preferences": {
      "browser.theme.toolbar-theme": {
        "Value": 0,
        "Status": "locked"
      }
    }
  }
}

Actual:

The Firefox menus and panels (like the hamburger menu, the add-ons panel) have a light background.

Expected:

The Firefox menus and panels (like the hamburger menu, the add-ons panel) have a dark background.

Could this be another consequence of your changes in bug 1993056 or maybe bug 1993421?

Not sure without a bisection, but that pref was never intended to be set by users. In fact, that's why above you need to lock it.

This is a relatively common “trick” because some users want to use certain themes but still want to use light menus and panels instead of dark ones, or vice versa. The fact that this no longer works is the reason why the issue was raised in Firefox support after the release of Firefox 146.
