http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/firefox%5Finternet%5Fexplorer/This is a pretty convincing overhaul of Firefox based on the screenshot. I'm almost tempted to try it out just to see how good it actually is but I like my setup too much to try mucking around with it. "I like the way it looks" is no longer a valid excuse. True dat.

Why would you want to make Firefox look like IE. If anything you would want IE to look like firefox.

There's apparently a lot of people out there that are resistant to the change. I know that I'm resistant to change in general. It took some getting used to for me to use Firefox.

I use IE 7 at work and the latest build of FF at home.
I enjoy the tab browsing and think M$ has a better implementation of it.
But STILL!!
Fregging M$ still hasn't fixed the issue of , when I want a page to stop loading and hit the stop button, god damnit you better fucking stop loading!!

Have you tried any of the tabbed browsing extensions for Firefox? I use Tab Mix Plus and can't really think of anything that it doesn't do that I'd want. What makes IE's implementation better?

The biggest thing is that on FF to close a tab the "X" is on the far right. On IE, the "X" is on the tab.
It's a close call, but since FF isn't officially supported on my network, I need to use IE to get the "end user experience" to help me better support it.

With Tab Mix Plus, you can configure it to close on double-click. That's one of my favorite features. It even lets you disable the close button altogether so it's cleaner.

That works, too. My most-used machine is my laptop which has no middle click. My mouse on my other machine has a tilt scroll wheel so it's hard to actually click the thing straight down without going to the side. i would sometimes be moving too fast for my own good and accidentally double click on the tab bar rather than the tab I wanted to close, which of course opened a new tab. Consider me happy when I noticed the option to do nothing when the tab bar is clicked. If I want to open a new tab, I want to do it with ctrl-t, thank you very much.

Opera has the X on each tab, too. You can shift + click to close as well. I don't think that works in firefox, though.

I just tried shift-clicking a tab and it appears to lock it so that it can't be closed. I don't know if that's the default functionality or if it's something that's added by my tabbed browsing extension, though.

Hm, I just noticed... with my firefox, it has the X's on the individual tabs. I guess there's an option for that somewhere because I didn't install any extensions.

I don't have the newest version of Firefox so I can't comment. Haven't gotten it because my skin isn't supported on it.

I'm not sure that can be changed, but then again I haven't looked. |
