    This comment has deeply offended me. So much so that I had to leave Wordforge, crying, for a few hours since my Firefox looked like Volpone's.

    So anyhow, I was wondering, how can I "Pimp My Firefox"? What essential tools am I missing to make it look cool?

    Help me... :$: :$: :$: Pimp My Firefox! :$: :$: :$:

    For some reason mine didn't auto update either! I had to go to Firefox's site and d/l version 2.0. It was fairly annoying.

    All this time I thought I had the latest version and it turns out I was stuck at 1.5. I finally downloaded ver 2.0 and did a manual install.

    I like the blue ice theme. Dunno if I like it better than the default though honestly. I already forced some vista-esque themes into xp, so my toolbars and what not look different already.

    There's a way you can install those StyleXP or windowblinds themes without using stylexp or windowblinds, or having any processes running.

    Just do a search for it. FYI though... the files you use cannot be moved (without undoing everything) after you do it, so put them in place where you don't mind having them.

    For systems that aren't exactly creme de la creme, I'd recommend just getting a UXTheme.dll patcher and using Visual Styles which don't (at least in my experience) slurp down as much of your system's resources as WindowBlinds does.

    Cass? We demand you post a screencap of your Firefox. And it should be open to a Google search for "Hi Wordforge! Cass."

    I tried Firefox years ago and thought it sucked large. I won't run it. :shrug:

    Well, it's come a ways from years ago. But you're right, at that time it did in fact suck a surplus of large. Was still better than IE 6, though. IMO, both browsers have matured immensely since then, although IE 7 now whomps the crap out of Firefox.
