The latest updates for Firefox on Android have helpfully deleted my browser theme.

I know themes aren't supported for now, and that would be fine— were it not for the fact that it's also left no trace of which theme I was using, so I can't even install it on Desktop or a future Android version.

This is something that the user explicitly chooses and sets, and which becomes a personalized and extremely visible part of their user experience. Please tell me that there's still an `about:config` flag or back-up configuration file or something which contains an ID or URL for the theme.

Hi

There is no way to recover that theme or name of theme in the new Firefox for Android. You may find it listed as an add-on that currently is inactive in the add-ons menu but I am unable to test this.

If you are looking for about:config, I recommend that you try the Nightly version of Firefox for Android, available from the Google Play store.

....Lovely. It appears that `about:config` is also itself broken on Firefox for Android.
