One. How many time travellers does it take to change a lightbulb?

just want to share -

so I was again lurking on ubuntu forums, when I found this plugin - I completely unintentionally made firefox pretty:

Don't you hate default FF look/theme with that fat blue menu? I'm not fan of third-party extensions, but I'm making exception with 'glasser' and 'hide menubar' (hides menu bar, but you can still access it with alt key - like in IE7).

I'm though staying with IE, as by the time ff get 'protected mode' we will probably already have ff3 'awesome bar' in IE8..

Now you have to change the style of your toolbar to look like a command bar, and add a blank tab on the right which creates a new tab. Smiley

I stopped using FF the day I realized every UI change I made was only a pathetic attempt to immatate IE7; never saw the glass one though.

matthews,

The default Firefox interface is bad, but Microsoft needs to make changes with IE too you know
