roadrunnertwiceDudes. For some reason, I checked back in on the alternative themes scene after Firefox 3.6 dropped, and it turns out that Camifox is where it is AT.
I know, I know, why not just use Camino? Well, because I'm a Firefox guy, is what it comes down to. These things are complicated. But anyway, taking up less space + pretty colors + tab close buttons on the correct side (they're under the tab favicons, and appear on hover) + favicons for the bookmark toolbar + overall understated and classy sensibility = FTW. Forget that gaudy-ass Personas nonsense* and give this one a spin. (Works on Windows and Linux, too!)
One nit to pick: the default search bar look is only suitable for people who use one search engine all the time; if you use any search plugins, it doesn't scale at all. They considerately built in a workaround, though: just edit your userchrome.css file and add this line to the top of it, up above the
Which'll change the theme to what you see above.
