Gorgeous, Mac-centric Firefox themes

GrApple - Aronnax`s Firefox Themes

Dang, these Mac-o-phillic Firefox themes are yummy. I’ve actually been using “GrApple Eos Pro” for some time now, but I’d never realized just how many subtle variations were available.

I’m not sure if it’s just a Mac thing – or even whether it’s necessarily always a good thing – but I really believe the chance of a product’s wider adoption amongst Mac users is greatly enhanced when it looks like something we’re used to using. Thanks to the broad range of talented hands contributing to open source projects these days, we’re starting to see more top-notch work like this from people like Aronnax; stuff that keep us snooty 5ish% very happy and visually dazzled. Good on you. (And a tip of the Mac to Jon for supplying their hosting and cool domain name.)

Firefox for OSX reall does...

Firefox for OSX reall does suck. Hard.

I use Camino (It is in active development) and Safari most of the time, occasionally using Shiira (Webkit based, feature rich) and SunriseBrowser (WebKit Stickies, basically).

I use Firefox bery rarely, and quit it immediately when I’m done with it. The only reason to use it would be extentions, and most of them are broken on the Mac.
