post modified:
it saddens me to now realize that most addons (in my spoiler) are not including the proper link to Mozilla. I am not sure I will take the time to correct that many :-(
dantheman:
@Curt,
I'm surprised you don't have "Beyond Australis" on your list.
Wish someone could come up with a good substitute before November comes around... :'(
Using beta 53 64bit at present and it is weird that the new dark compact theme Mozilla has, works at first then it stops on restart. Conflict with other addons maybe. Pitty, it's about the only thing i like about the newer Firefox.
Have FTDeep Dark as default for ages now to fall back on, but i'm afraid that this most excellent complete theme will be in the gutter too on that 11th month. More tears...
Btw, was that the correct link to Google Yandex reverse image search?

@dantheman
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/google-yandex-reverse/ is created by the owner of dmtr.org, and he likes to advertise it. Thank you for telling! I have corrected the link (in my previous post).
Beyond Australis is looking good, but I use the less good looking Classic Theme Restorer which is more versatile. You may say I am going the opposite direction of FT Deep Dark, as my eyes don't like black on black. Our Dirhael would have loved it: https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=4782.msg74597#msg74597 (click desktop_wip.jpg)
Still half a year to hope for the best.
dantheman:
Nice screenshot from Dirhael for sure!
Your Arizona cave shot was pretty cool as well! :-*
FT Deep Dark, better than all other dark themes I've tried.
Don't usually like dark black, but this one has its niche.
FEBE has always been a default for me.
Mozilla muffs up on syncing at times so it's always nice to have a plan b.
Half a year to hope for the best.
Yup.
Just wished Mozilla could do something better than adding an extra theme or two with a promise of better security with extensions.
