How to make Firefox look like IE7

Friday, 08 February 2008
firefoxFirefox had their good marketing and it's being loved by millions of people not just because its faster and more safer. Most of all, its customizable to your likings. So if you want your firefox browser to sport the chic Vista' IE7 look, read on.

If you need to have installed on your PC. Then, install the Vista Aero theme for FireFox. Make sure you hit the download link with Firefox itself so it directly Install it for you. Once the theme has been downloaded and installed, Open Add-Ons under Tools menu and choose the theme. The theme will be used only after a restart. So restart your firefox.

You'll notice the glossy IE7 look but not exactly the same. So what's missing? You got that right, yes, the tabs bar are shown always in IE7, so open Options under the Tools menu of Firefox and choose "Always show Tabs bar" unders the Tabs section. Gotcha..

Still, the menubar is not there in IE7 but stupid Firefox shows it? Don't worry, download and install Personal Menu add-on. This will let you hide firefox' menubar and unhide it whenever required.

Before hiding the menubar, I suggest you to Right-Click on the menubar and choose "Customize" Here you can choose what elements you want and remove the rest. Best is to have just the Navigation bar, Search bar and the Bookmarks. Dump the rest.

Now if you're so concerned about the title bar displaying Mozilla Firefox and want to change it to Internet Explorer 7 or something personal, do so with Firesomething Add-On.

Well, now you got the best browser with the best look. If you find this article useful, post your comments below.
