A Material Design-inspired userChrome.css theme for Firefox

This theme is powered by blood, sweat, and coffee. If you like it, please consider helping out to support its continued development.

What this does

Inspired by Google's Material Design and their latest Google Chrome UI, this theme turns your Firefox into a Material-styled web browser. The aim was to style the browser as closely as possible to the latest Google Chrome dev builds, where practical.

This is a userChrome.css theme, which means you must manually add it to your Firefox profile. The theme overrides certain browser styles. Currently, only the main UI is affected (settings pages, etc. are not). More elements of the UI may be styled in the future.

What version do I use?

Check the releases section. Each release version will match the compatible Firefox version. For example, if you're using Firefox 76, try a v76.x release. The master branch is compatible with stable Firefox; the beta branch is compatible with Firefox Beta. This requires a periodic rebase of master on beta as Mozilla update their release cycle (which doesn't always occur immediately).

Installation

Copy the chrome folder and user.js file into your Firefox profile directory. To find your profile directory, go to about:support or about:profiles.
See Recommended instructions if you'd prefer a more Chrome-like experience.
Restart Firefox.
