Fix for Ugly Firefox 3

[mafitzpatrick]

I don't it's just me who's been experiencing a utterly fugly Firefox setup on Hardy ....Under KDE4 it got even worse (even with the gtk-kde4 packages installed) with chopping tab bars and the like. Well, worry no more, I've found a theme which banishes the problems and practically looks identical to "default" Firefox:

Phoenity Aura

Have fun! (And please tell me it's not just me )

i'm with brooker. fx3 isn't "fugly". especially with all the desktop environment integration work done on fx3.

Re: Fix for Ugly Firefox 3

Well I'm on KDE4 Hardy fully updated and FF3 is UGLY we're talking Win98 ugly!!!

It's so ugly, I have to say it again.. it's U G L Y.

It works ok, but it's very very un-attractive.

Yeah, I'm having some issues with font sizes, on this forum, with FF3. For some reason when I hit "Reply" and type, it is about 6 point font, and my old eyes don't see it very well. :P

Just curious, any chance you folks are using the same profile in ff3 that you had in ff2?

I did that at first and had several problems until I erased the .mozilla directory and started ff3 from scratch. Then, all my problems cleared up. Just a thought.

I had been doing that, but I have a fresh install now. The only part of my old profile that still exists is my bookmarks.

what exactly do you mean? that gtk-qt-engine did not apply oxygen theme?

In the latest polishlinux.org look at 4.1: http://polishlinux.org/kde/kde-41-the-annoyances/
they highlighted a great "experimental" firefox 3 theme...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/7574

This matches the look/feel of konq almost exactly... which of course means the active tab doesn't really "pop", but still much, much better than anything else out there i have used so far...

Is Firefox the new Betty Suarez (Yo soy Bea, la fea)? Or am I missing something?

Re: Fix for Ugly Firefox 3

i use this theme http://webdesigns.ms11.net/winstripethemes.html + this add-on addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1208 for firefox 2.0 - the classic menus tho may work for you, also if it says that the theme isn't for FF3, download it, save the .jar file, rename to .zip unzip - edit the .rdf's max version to a higher number save re-zip, rename extensions to .xpi, ctrl+o in ur browser, fine it and open it - it should now install. However I haven't tested it out on FF3 so I don't know if it works. alas the classic menus for winstripe, etc. theme can be hacked the same way as the .jar files, just rename .xpi to .zip - extract, edit the rdf files max version, re-zip, change .zip to .xpi and open it up with ur browser and installm etc.. and so forth.

yes the classic winstripes themes work on kubuntu and linux in general i think, at least on GG 7.10 with swiftweseal 2.0.0.14, etc..
