Are you comparing FireFox with LO?;
          FireFox is a website where LO is a program.

       If you are desirous of using some of these screensavers on your
computer,
          then open FireFox, not LO,
             go to those URLs,
                download whatever to your machine.

       Then with that image on your machine, you can place it as a
screensaver or use however else -
          assuming that these images are for public usage :wink:

       Hoping this answers your questions,

No. Both are programmes.

They of course do different things, being different programmes.

You can only search for the Theme's name. Searching for the Author won't
work.
Unfortunately the URL input was removed by a Google Summer School student
who remodeled the Theme dialog.

Currently there is no way to select a specific theme. Unless you are
fortunate that the theme you like is within the first 9 that come out in
whatever search you do, you are out of luck.

Curiously, searching for "Dandelion Seeds" in the Mozilla Add-Ons, Themes
page immediately returns the theme you are looking for in first place, so I
have no idea which search engine or criteria the LibreOffice dialog is
using...

That is a know Regression and was reported some time ago
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88502

Unfortunately none of the devs working on LibreOffice found that this is an
interesting bug to fix...

Maybe someone knows a workaround?

hi pedro
yes, you are understand what is problem, also thank for link to bug report:https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88502
from firefox file prefs.js there are code:
user_pref("lightweightThemes.persisted.footerURL", true);
user_pref("lightweightThemes.persisted.headerURL", true);
user_pref("lightweightThemes.selectedThemeID", "652256");

user_pref("lightweightThemes.usedThemes", "[{\"id\":\"652256\",\"name\":\"Dandelion Seeds . Water Droplets\",\"headerURL\":\"https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/header.png?1441718429\",\"footerURL\":\"https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/footer.png?1441718429\",\"textcolor\":\"#013b3a\",\"accentcolor\":\"#cce8e3\",\"iconURL\":\"https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/icon.png?1441718429\",\"previewURL\":\"https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/preview.png?1441718429\",\"author\":\"VanillaOrchids\",\"updateURL\":\"https://versioncheck.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/themes/update-check/652256\",\"version\":\"0\",\"updateDate\":1447576483507,\"installDate\":1447576483507}]");
so the image header is:
https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/header.png

so the image footer is:https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/footer.png
so i did fix my test:
1)
close all libreoffice.  
before you save 2 files png (2 link):
https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/header.pnghttps://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/user-media/addons/652256/footer.png

save in path (linux, my case: opensuse 13.2):

/home/$user$/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/gallery/personas/     (save here header.png,footer)

(if there are not folder name "gallery" and "personas" then you can create 1 folder name "gallery" and sub-folder you can create name "personas".)
2)
go to folder: /home/$user$/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/
3)
open file name "registrymodifications.xcu" with kwrite or notepad++
4)

find row:

"<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc"><prop oor:name="PersonaSettings" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>"

add write "header.png;footer.png" see example:

"<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc"><prop oor:name="PersonaSettings" oor:op="fuse"><value>header.png;footer.png</value></prop></item>"

5)
find row:

"<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc"><prop oor:name="Persona" oor:op="fuse"><value>no</value></prop></item>"

add write "own" see example:

"<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/Misc"><prop oor:name="Persona" oor:op="fuse"><value>own</value></prop></item>"
6)
GOAL, finish, open Libreoffice 4.4 or 5.0
this is manual modify.. maybe team develop can see this fix and create a script generator...?
this is help for all you..

Anne,

While it is true that Firefox and LibreOffice are different it is not in the way you state. Both are programs.

Firefox is a program that essentially fetches textual and image files from local or remote file systems and displays them in the manner directed by a markup language which is frequently HTML.

LibreOffice is another program. It essentially reads reasonably (exception MS) well understood files of data frequently used in an office context (letters, reports, spreadsheets, databases, presentations, etc.), displays, edits, and writes them out.

Each is a powerful program but they differ in their purpose.

The OP is reporting a bug in LibO 5.x.

Whilst it doesn't affect program functionality, it does affect the "look
and feel" of LibO.

I'll grant that this is one of the less documented, and less used
features of LibO. Still, for those who like it, for it to not work
correctly is annoying.
