I've picked up an iMac G5 and was quick to install TenFourFox on it. All of the software I've put on this thing is 2004-05. I want to if possible match the aesthetic of TFF with these apps, if anybody knows of themes that add brushed metal, or make it look like old Safari (or even Firefox 1-2 for that matter) please let me know. I've never been one to theme browsers, so I'm a bit lost here.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting... maybe make your own theme?
Initially, try https://www.howtogeek.com/203803/how-to-create-your-own-firefox-browser-theme/, and get the Personas Plus extension which the above requires from caa:addon/personas-plus.
I will be trying it out myself later

Mac OS X Jaguar Pinstripe classic â Get this Theme for ð¦ Firefox (en-US)
Download Mac OS X Jaguar Pinstripe classic for Firefox. For best experience use it with Personas Expression add-on.
Panther / Tiger (Brushed Metal):
Mac OS X Tiger â Get this Theme for ð¦ Firefox (en-US)
Download Mac OS X Tiger for Firefox. This persona matches the aesthetics of Apple's Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It uses the scratched-metal look used by the Finder and Address Book in Mac OS X Tiger.
Leopard / Snow Leopard (Smooth Metal):
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard â Get this Theme for ð¦ Firefox (en-US)
Download Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard for Firefox. Firefox doesn't match Mac OS X Leopard very well. Fortunately, this persona makes Firefox look as close as possible to Safari on Mac OS X Leopard. This persona looks best when tabs on top is enabled.

Go into TFF prefs and change the user agent to Firefox 52 or 60. In the "Advanced" tab.
I only get an option for 52, and the addon needs 53... I might be out of luck unless I can copy it from a newer install
I could have sworn the latest versions of TFF had UAs for 60 and 68...
Change it to FF 52 anyway, and go into about:config. Search for "general.useragent.override". In the above parameter's string, look for a mention of "52". Replace it with "60".
Afterward, try downloading again.

After changing it it let me install, but it says the addon is corrupt. I'm not sure what would've changed between 52 and 53.
Just a note. There was a change in FF addons at some point. Kaiser remarked on it a while back. If you're trying to download current addons they won't work. They are more chrome type addons now than what they used to be.
It's one of the reasons Kaiser had a thread about archiving existing addons.

I would suggest getting the Classic Add-Ons Archive - https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive - link to downloads is at bottom of the page...

That's probably because the version I was attempted to install from is a fork of TFF and not up to date, this must've been a recent addition. I'll try it from my PowerBook and see if I find those options.
That's why I originally mentioned "latest versions".
Meanwhile, you all are on Iceweasel (FPR13)...
FF60 is good enough, FF68 wont do much more.
I wonder what would happen if Classilla was given FF68 UA
