Opera looks cool, but it lacks features, Internet Explorer sucks, but we still need it sometimes to check our website’s compatibility with it, Flock and Netscape are both Gecko based and aren’t used widely, so there is no point in using them, but did you ever know that you can make Firefox look as well act like all these browsers ?

Someone over at Newsvine has posted a very detailed guide to make Firefox look and act like IE, Opera, Flock and Netscape. The process is very simple, just involves installing few themes and extension. Although its not of much use to most of us, its quite fun to make one browser resemble another.

Some of the extensions and themes mentioned in the guide won’t work with Firefox 2.0, you’ll have to wait for sometime until the theme or extension becomes compatible with Firefox 2.0 or just switch back to Firefox 1.5.7 again.

  1. i still loves the original. nothing is perfect.. :)

  2. Faud: Me too, but most of my friends are stuck with IE and Opera, I’m trying to convince them to use Firefox

  4. Is there any way to make FF ACT like IE7 (i.e. render pages using IE7’s model)? (I have no interest in making the browser UI *look* like IE7’s theme - just in making the html of the actual pages browsed look like they do in IE7)

    The reason that I ask is that I have a number of add-ons for Firefox that make debugging web pages a breeze. But then you have to fix some IE bugs and you’re back to running blind and trying to figure out which page element has suddenly decided to change it’s width or colour.

    Thanks in advance!
