Introduction
Proton is Firefox’s new design, starting from Firefox 89.
Photon is the old design of Firefox which was used until version 88.
Proton’s overall feel is good , but there were a few things I didn’t like and wanted to improve.
That’s why this project was born, and Lepton to denote light theme layer.
Disclaimer: It works Firefox 89 and above!!

WHY Proton?
I think a lot has improved.
(Proton’s design ⬆️ )
Neatly organized menu
Icon beautiful enough to remind you of Edge
Nice color scheme
Satisfied Rounding
Modal window & Scrollbar!!
WHY Not Proton?
However, there are also many flaws.
(Photon’s design ⬆️ )
Is it a tab or a button?
Where are the menu icons?
Icons in ActivityStream are too small
Padding gaps are wide
⚠️ Address bar 3-point menu, screenshot moves to toolbar (can’t fix)
