Firefox 0.8


Recommended Posts

It's a personal mod at this stage. :)

It's not nearly close to being complete. I still have to look into skinning the bookmarks folder toolbar, and the tabs. I might release it in the future, provided:

- Nobody else releases one before that. I don't have much time on my hands to get this done as fast as many other themers out there. Plus, it's the first time I'm doing this.

- I get permission to release it from Kevin, the author of the original Mac Pinstripe theme.

- I'm convinced that this, in no way, infringes on any of Apple's copyrighted work.

Definitely will. :)

Just need some more time before I can get a complete port ready.

The Windows VS that I'm using in that ss is Opus OSX, by the way. It's in the completed vs section of this site.

Wow ok, made one mistake with my word choice... :rolleyes:

I'll give you an A+ for the excessive use of profanity regarding a web browser though. (Y)

After using 0.8 this week, I really appreciate how fast this thing is. I usually use the nightlies and will continue to do so. The only thing is, I'm not sure you can use ActiveX controls in Firefox. And launch.com and dell.com support chat won't work w/o IE. It gets an A in my book though.

We're getting there!! :D I am now working on it with another person (Ash Burton), so the pace should be a little faster too.

A screenie comparing the latest version of the port to the real thing:

I rarely used firebird aside from when developing a web page, but I'm trying to give it a shot to replace safari as my default browser - to do that I have a few issues I need to iron out. perhaps someone who's been using firebird on OS X for a while can help me out:

1) I'm using a Logitech trackball right now. In clicking the scholl wheel always functioned as middle click and would open a link in a new tab - Firefox seams to ignore it (holding CMD while clicking does open in new tabs however). Is there a way to force firebird to recognize this - I'd rather not go installing new drivers or software because I've been fine without them this far.

2) With TBE installed the first tab open at the far left. The next on open at the far right - then they open on the left edge of the right most tab working their way towards the left. It's really difficult to navigate like this.

Disabling TBE solves the problem but kills the functionality.

Just incase you miseed it: I'm talking about an OS X machine running firefox.TIA.

Nope, ActiveX is IE/Microsoft only.
