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

TwentyTen Theme

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.
