Make Firefox look like Internet Explorer

February 22nd, 2007 by David Bradley >> 4 Comments

Firefox like explorerFed up with malware and crashes caused by Internet Explorer, but really luuuurv the look and feel of Microsoft’s browser? Well, you might care to switch to the much more stable and secure alternative, Mozilla’s Firefox. But, how does that help? Surely, FF not only works very differently to IE it also looks nothing like it. Well, thanks to FF’s themability and a neat theme from Bamm Gabriana detailed here you can dress the fox up in MS clothing quite easily.

So, follow Haller’s instructions to escape IE tyranny, turn to FF, and then make FF look like IE. The technique could even be used stealthily to switch your friends and family over to FF without them really knowing it’s happened (just remember to export their IE favorites into FF bookmarks).

    Huh? I can only assume you didn’t actually read the post about disguising Firefox as internet explorer since you made such an inane remark.
