FF 52 ESR themes question.

Are themes available for 52 ESR?
The theme pages all say "Get Firefox" when I click on a theme.
I have webGL turned off so that 52 ESR works with Google Maps.
Thanks.

No Mozilla removed all old legacy extensions from AMO because they are
no longer supported.

Mozilla no longer supports 52 ESR.

Rex called Don lazy and dumb as a rock in a much nicer way.

You can use any version you want.

How does that help him find a complete theme from

"Lightweight" themes are still there for 52.9.0 ESR. I installed
two, minutes ago, then got rid of them again.
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/>

Just installed "forever floyd_dark side of moon"
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dark-side-of-moon/?
I'll keep this one.

Those aren't complete themes, they are what were previously referred to
as Personas.

Hi Cows are Nice (and mighty tasty, too!), If I could, I would but
without XUL and XPCOM, regrettably, Mozilla has taken that capability away.
