One of the things that left a bad impression on me when I tried Linux for the first time was how everything looked bad on Firefox in a way it didnt on Windows. I thought "Well if Firefox on Windows is better looking than Firefox on Linux then this Linux cant be up to much".
If there's a way we can have this turned on by default then it gets my vote!!

I enjoy this so much, I have added this to my .deb of SeaMonkey.

Re: Firefox widgets - makes your Firefox look really good!
I fully respect the idea of a CD download as being a terrific way of getting the distro out and about. After all it was a feature that weighed heavily on my choice of new desktops to download. Open SuSE 10.2 was a BEHEMOTH! But globally we are moving to better speeds and volumes. In Austalia we are a long way behind in this area, due in part to our very low population density and hence struggling infrastructure. But the idea of an UBER DVD with all the bells and whistles suggested by the Mint community is not a bad idea. A lot of work for a selected few I admit. But I'd have the bugger streaming down right now if it was available.
if it aint broken....dont let me near it
Re: Firefox widgets - makes your Firefox look really good!
Firefox 3.0 trunk (nightly test version) is looking really good with native Linux icons and widgets.
But there is a very irritating bug in page rendering which should be corrected. So if you are capable to test and vote for that bug here is the address: #406577

I almost end up using opera after seeing the "not so pleasing look" of text and button rendering in firefox. til firefox 3's release, this widget is a must have for current linux mint users.

Oh neat, but as much as I'd like to get this, I'm not registering on a forum just to download one file. Kinda stupid IMO.. but this really would make a great thing to have default in Mint.

I already know how to break Mint. =P I've broken Windows on numerous occasions, and I've broke Mint 3 and 4 a few times as well.

Plus, I'm not a heavy Linux user since I have too many programs that rely on Windows. I only put it on my laptop since I'm not doing much with my laptop to begin with, so it's not like I need Windows for anything on here.

Thanks for the file, merlwiz79
Re: Firefox widgets - makes your Firefox look really good!
I use opera and got rid of firefox. The color's and look and all that was fine. Just it would often times do the grey freeze, more often than not, and bring my entire pc with it, so I got rid of it.
Re: Firefox widgets - makes your Firefox look really good!
Just a warning: this isn't needed as of Elyssa, as FF3 has native linux inputs
Re: Firefox widgets - obsolete with Firefox 3
I was browsing LXer this morning and saw a post on how to install Firefox 3.5 on ubuntu based distro's
it is a deb file from sourceforge and its called Ubuntuzilla !!
I downloaded it an installit while having my brekkies. totaly painless and you get updates from mozzila as they come out.
to read the howto (not realy needed) go to www.maketecheasier.com .If you dont read the how yo the only thing to watch After clicking 'y' to all prompts is when it gets to generating the key at the end their is a pause of approx 1 min.
hope you like it It Works for me
