676356 - provide more "default" themes in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Theme, enhancement)

Description

Expected results:

I suggest to provide more themes (or colour versions) pre-installed in Firefox.
It can help retain more users, when they can change themes directly in Firefox without installing any extra one from AMO.
Providing more official themes will make them sure, that this theme will be there in the next version, unlike themes from AMO.

Today many users don't like new default theme since FF4 or Glass effect on Aero Windows. If Mozilla provide theme version currently for non-Aero Windows, they will be satisfied.

It's true that add-ons are simply accessible, but Firefox should offer some customizations basically without anything more installed.

Shortly:
My idea is to have more themes in Firefox installation (something like: modern, classic, futuristic, simple, small/minimalistic, rounded, angular, ... or ... blue, black, orange, ...).

I'm afraid were busy enough maintaining the existing default themes on various operating systems...
