User reviews
Aurora Australis is a bright, colorful, and cheerful Firefox theme that users find easy to read and visually appealing. Many users consider it their favorite and install it consistently. However, it lacks support for 21:9 monitors and does not respect the browser or OS light/dark mode preferences. Recent Firefox updates have caused issues, forcing dark themes on certain sites, prompting hopes for updates to address these problems.
