Thanks to a teenage Firefox aficionado from Tasmania, Australia, you can make your Firefox 3.6 look like mockups we’ve seen for Firefox 3.7 and fire fox 4.0. Hi I’m Seth Rosenblatt from cnetdownload.com and in this how to I’ll show you how to make your Firefox go back to the future.
This is actually as simple as installing a couple of add ons. Fire up this Strata40 theme and its accompanying experimental add on StataBuddy. Like one of those classic Superman comics that had Supermen from across time teaming up to defeat a dastardly villain, StrataBuddy provides the interface tweaks, while the Strata40 theme gives Firefox the look you want.
When you install Strata40 and StrataBuddy, you'll need to go into the StrataBuddy options to activate key features. These include the Style and Background Style choices under the Strata tab, the tab style under Tabs, and the font and progress meter changes under Miscellaneous.
Choose StrataBuddy options and restart under tools, go to the options menu for the StrataBuddy Add on then click on the Strata Tab. Then select 4.0 and if you’re Windows 7 choose aero glass. Under tabs, choose tabs on top. If you install the recommended add ons tabs, Fission and tab progress bar, you get some cool additional features. Alt tabs let’s you shrink a tab to the size of its Favicon, Fission merges the progress meter in to the address bar and tab progress bar sticks a progress meter in each tab.
Users should know that the key feature in tab progress bar is also available as one of the many features in the popular Tab Mix Plus and that the two add ons are incompatible. Other add ons recommended by Spillboy on his Strata40 Mozilla page include, download status bar, Omni bar and the hide menu bar.
I highly recommend download status bar as well as URL tool tip so you can hide the status bar itself and make URLs appear when you mouse over a links. Personal preferences aside, this is an excellent visual tweak to free up screen real estate in Firefox 3.6. For CNET, I’m Seth Rosenblatt.
