    How to get Mozilla FireFox 3.0.5 to look almost exactly like google Chrome

    I know this is pretty basic but, i didnt know about it before i heard about it recently so maybe you didnt either...got the idea from the Tech thread i opened...all i did was DL the Theme and played around with the buttons so it look like it...NOTE: the more popular theme "Chromifox 2" DOESNT work with FF 3.0.5...Why do this? This guide will combine the highly coveted look of Chrome while still using the FF browser so you are more secure and there is more functionality.

    Heres a guide on how to do it:

    1. Have atleast FireFox 3.0.5( download at Getfirefox.com )

    2. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8790 and click "Add to firefox" (it will say "Add to firefox" only if you are using the FF browser, On other browsers it will say "Download now". Access this page in FF just for ease of use.)

    3. It will automatically install. when it prompts you to, restart FF

    4. Your FF should look a good amount like chrome minus the buttons. So right click just above the URL bar in that blueish gray area. You should have a drop down bar that says "Navigation toolbar, buttons etc...". Uncheck the buttons and bookmark bars. Now you should be left with the tab bar on the very top (it may be empty atm), the "File, Edit, View etc..." bar, and the URL bar...Right click where you click before and hit "Customize..." and edit the bars so it looks like The picture below.


    4. Have fun, and if you have anything to add just put it in this thread

    Google Chrome:

        I'm not a fan of chrome or the new ff. I use ff 2.0 with a mac theme. It's so clean I have never had the desire to change it. Plus, I still get all of the security updates. Not that this has any relevance to the OP.

                  LOL, haven't seen an ad in some time.

                  You should be less concerned with the appearance of your Firefox, and more attentive with installing an ad blocking extension such as AdBlock Plus.

                    Does firefox fill in the URLs for you, like Google Chrome does?

                      The only reason I don't use chrome is because it's too simple... So your guide makes it a lose lose situation..

                        Yes it does if you are using the latest version of firefox.

                          Chrome just makes my web browsing more difficult because im used to the layout of firefox

                            Hey, IDC if you think chrome fails. This guide works and its good if you want to use it. I dont see any of you putting anything constructive up. (minus the ad thing but, meh)
