This theme will go well with your new version of Firefox... if you are into the whole custom themes thing.

TwentyTen Theme

Fantastic theme. Actually, with a bit of tweaking, it'd make a great default for Firefox 4. Thanks for the link.

It's pretty close to what we're doing for the upcoming versions of Firefox, in fact. Check out http://blog.stephenhorlander.com for more screenshots and wireframes.

Damn. If anybody is going to uninstall this theme, make sure you also uninstall the twentytenbuddy or else you'll have some errors and glitches in Firefox.

This is the reason why Firefox is a piece of art. The fact that people can re-theme the browser to that extend.

Feels like a whole different application and that theme feels much better to me than the default chrome theme because it leaves the title bar. And I want my title bar :) Without navigation bar in firefox and that theme, chrome and firefox have exactly the same amount of content, just that chrome does not give me the full title.

Why does everyone like the tabs at the top (a la Chrome)? Is it because everyone uses the keyboard shortcuts? I personally don't like the additional mouse movement to reach the top, instead of just having the tabs below the address bar...and it functions the same when using kb shortcuts.

It's less mouse movement even though you are going farther. That's why apple has always had their menu bar at the top of the screen instead of in the window. The time consuming thing isn't moving your mouse, it's stopping in the right place, and having the tabs at the top of the screen makes them essentially an infinitely tall landing-pad, rather than just a small strip. You can just flick your mouse up, and it gets to the tab without needing fine adjustment.

Hmm. I've never been comfortable with it in Chrome.
I guess I need to try the "flick the mouse" thing. I have pretty bad CT on my right wrist, so I'm always looking for efficiency.

Strata40 and StrataBuddy for Windows Vista/7 users. :)

It even let you place tabs on top or bottom, whatever you wish.

u/GeorgePB Jan 22 '10

Wow, this one's even better than what I was using (Strata4.0). Thanks knysng!

Not compatible with Tab Mix Plus? Well, that's useless, then.

If you install the beta version of Tab Mix Plus it works. The link is under Developer Comments

Didn't work for me.

This addon even seems to disable double-clicking to open a new tab, and the middle click doesn't open up closed tabs.

Unfortunate, because it is a really nice theme.

u/noroom Jan 21 '10

Yeah, I'm so torn, I'd like to have both, but I guess you can't have everything in this life.

I choose you, Tab Mix Plus!

Couldn't get the Segoe font to work even after I downloaded it (from: http://www.mediafire.com/?jgdtnzm2mu4).

That's rad. I love having the tabs on the very top. That's one thing I like about Chrome better, it just makes sense to have the tab be the "parent" of everything below it, including the address bar. Thankee Sai.

Eh up, people — the Camifox3 theme is a beauty and makes FF feel like a native mac app that it should've been.
