 Firefox supports background themes (previously called "personas") that
 allow the user to personalize the appearance of the browser window (see
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_Background_Themes]).

 It would be nice if TorBrowser shipped with a tor-specific background
 theme. This would help users who are running TorBrowser side-by-side with
 regular Firefox to visually distinguish between the two.

 As it stands, the visual similarity between Torbrowser and the interface
 of a regular Firefox installation means that there is a danger that users
 might compromise their anonymity/privacy by inadvertently using regular
 Firefox when they mean to use Torbrowser, and vice versa.
