Xfce How to get Firefox to use xfce theme?

[sremick]

Ok... what's the secret to get Firefox to honor the theme setting in xfce? All other apps/windows reflect the theme change instantly but Firefox does not even with a reboot.

Even Thunderbird works fine.

FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p3
Xfce 4.18

Depend on your xfce theme you could get one the look like on Firefox Themes.
You can also customize your FF with CSS, there is a lot of tutorials on youtube about it.

I would be content just to have Firefox's window manager theme match the rest of the OS. Surely this is handled in the OS somewhere. Firefox's "themes" are more the internal content of the window UI and I'm ok with Firefox as-in in that regard.

Could you show some example screen.
Do you still see the title bar in Firefox? but it doesn't match Xfwm?
Did you apply the theme to the window manager (not Appearance)?

This seems like a forced CSD issue in GTK3. The solution is here:

How to Disable Client Side Decorations on FreeBSD / GhostBSD

Client Side Decorations, where the application draws its own window decorations instead of the Window Manager, is just a terrible idea. Why go through the trouble of picking out a window manager you like, configuring and theming it exactly how you like it, only to have some random application...

You are not seeing the title bar of the "Mozilla Firefox" window. Turn it on and see if it makes a difference. Go with gtk3-nocsd otherwise.

Click the menu button

, click More Tools… and choose Customize Toolbar….

• To turn on the Title bar: Put a check mark next to Title Bar in the lower left.
