Firefox 3 gets native theme for Vista, XP and OS X

Firefox has the same standard look and feel across all platforms. But this is going to change in Firefox 3. Mozilla is working on new visual theme for Firefox, which will be designed to smoothly fit into the operating system. Probably, this will help Mozilla in retaining new users, who would otherwise find it difficult in Firefox environment.

Firefox 3 for Vista

Firefox 3 for OS X

From the screenshots, the planned Vista theme looks a lot like Internet Explorer 7 with the same forward/backward icons. Likewise, the OS X version of Firefox 3 would resembles a lot with Safari. Linux will probably have a native theme as well, but this is going to be hard as Linux comes in variety of flavors.

I think this is step in the right direction to retain more users, but at the same time, it will be hard for those using Firefox across different platforms. For instance, I use both Vista and Ubuntu on my laptop, but I use XP on my desktop, which means… i’ll have to get used to three different themes of Firefox. I hope, they add an option switch back to the standard theme, just like how it looks today.
