If you are using newer versions of Firefox, you can apply these themes using Add-ons manager. Click on Firefox menu (Hamburger) button and select “Add-ons” option. Or type about:addons in address bar and press Enter. Now click on Appearance section in left-sidebar and you’ll see the new themes.

When one of the new themes is applied the minimize, maximize and close buttons disappear when you have titelbar in color enabled and the tabs are square, wich personally I don’t like.
