You do know that Longhorn is not out yet right? So you can't really have an opinion on it's quality, you can only speculate. And Vladik, your logic is clearly flawed. If you "primarily use IE" how can you be a "heavy user of Firefox"?

exactly, but i've been reading about longhorn (its coming out in 2006) and people have been saying that longhorn isn't that good, and based on that information, I agreed.

then he probably shouldn't vote, that's too close of a margin.

Ben, WOW. Okay, so it was a good thing that netscape was blown away. What if the Mozilla foundations stops updating FireFox?! That would be giving the browser war over to MS on a silver platter! Let's just hope that never happens! BTW, FireFox's GUI is the best I've ever seen! The tabs feature is great, and the fact that everything stays the way it was when you last used it is great! ;D

Yes, I love Noia, but I should check the site again, there are probably some other good ones out by now. I used the KDE theme for a little while (Plastifox SVG? maybe?). And Mozilla would only stop updating firefox if they came out with a new browser. Asking that question is like asking if the Linux community would ever stop updating Linux.

Ok, so they'll keep updating firefox then. What's the problem?
EDIT:
I also just went looking at themes again. I still like Noia the best, but I found the hilarious theme "PimpZilla", which despite a few shortcomings is actually pretty cool. I'm using it for the time being so I have a little variety.

THEME THING: PimpZilla's an...ok theme, it's kinda cool...

The part that really got me was the tab bar. Not just the leopard skin print, but the incredible dimensionality of the whole thing. It's very well done.

I have to agree, it is a well-done theme.

Another good theme is "LeBreeze". It's nice and clean, but not too modern.

"Not too modern" That's what I don't like about it...

I like it, because it's a little more funtional than the regular theme (don't ask me how, though!).

I am so pissed at IE. Who do they think they are, taking away css support? position: fixed; doesn't even work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they are going to be the main browser, they better be pretty damn good at it. People who support IE are ignorant FOOLS. Little do they know that they aren't seeing the whole page, due to dumbass css constraints the IE HAS PLACED ON ITSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with them?!?!?!?!?!? You know what? Just fuck ms and use FireFox! NOW!

So you AREN'T a supporter of IE. Some websites look better with IE (since I have both , but Firefox has its many advantages. Oh, and some codes don't work on Firefox, but again, FIrefox has its advantages.

the ones that don't look good on firefox are those that have been designed to work with IE's flaws and mistakes, so firefox doing them correctly messes it up. This is not good practice. It is possible to make pages that look fine with either browser, and that is what I have done to my page.
