A list of all Settings/Preferences

FF Ultima applies all of its features by filtering through user preferences (example: ultima.tabs.autohide) found on the about:config page. This allows You, the User, a bit of freedom in how you use the theme. Combining different preferences can achieve interesting results. Below you will find a list of every setting found in the theme, as well as what it will do, how you can use it, and a gif/video preview.

To access theme settings:

  1. Open Firefox
  2. Type about:config in the URL Bar
  3. Accept the warning & continue
  4. Type ultima or user.theme to view the list
