Firefox not skinned at all, Windows 10

from Stardock Forums

I am seeing other threads about Firefox, and getting the sense that Firefox should be skinned with WindowBlinds.

I am running Windows 10 build 10586.  I upgraded from Windows 7 a few days ago.

After the upgrade, I installed WindowBlinds 10, beta, version 10.02.  I am using the theme Lantana, one of the default themes that shipped with WindowBlinds.  I have rebooted a couple of times since installing WindowBlinds, so that's not a problem.

I am using Firefox 43.0.2, the current release version, and this should be the 32bit version, since I have not yet gone hunting for the 64bit version.

I have reloaded Firefox with all addons disabled, via the help menu.  This made no difference, still no skinning.

I then used the Windows key + R (run) dialog to run the command "firefox.exe -P" and launched Firefox with a brand new, blank profile, as if it had never been run before.  Still no sign of any skinning by WindowBlinds.

I am also running Start 10, and launching Firefox this way.

There are no special rules in WindowBlinds for Firefox, and so far every other program is being skinned.  Thunderbird 38.5 is being skinned correctly.

Should I expect Firefox to be skinned under Windows 10 with WindowBlinds 10?  Can anyone confirm this works?

Digging a bit further, Chrome 47 is skinned.  Which is nice, but that's not my main browser.

One interesting side point, I am also running DisplayFusion 7.3.2, in case that might matter:  https://www.displayfusion.com/

but since its not stopping anything else from being skinned, that seems unlikely.

Firefox is not skinned as the developers chose to draw their own custom titlebars which look like the Win10 ones when running on Windows 10.  Why they did this is something only they can answer.
