It's a personal mod at this stage. :)

It's not nearly close to being complete. I still have to look into skinning the bookmarks folder toolbar, and the tabs. I might release it in the future, provided:

- Nobody else releases one before that. I don't have much time on my hands to get this done as fast as many other themers out there. Plus, it's the first time I'm doing this.

- I get permission to release it from Kevin, the author of the original Mac Pinstripe theme.

- I'm convinced that this, in no way, infringes on any of Apple's copyrighted work.

After using 0.8 this week, I really appreciate how fast this thing is. I usually use the nightlies and will continue to do so. The only thing is, I'm not sure you can use ActiveX controls in Firefox. And launch.com and dell.com support chat won't work w/o IE. It gets an A in my book though.

I rarely used firebird aside from when developing a web page, but I'm trying to give it a shot to replace safari as my default browser - to do that I have a few issues I need to iron out. perhaps someone who's been using firebird on OS X for a while can help me out:

1) I'm using a Logitech trackball right now. In clicking the scholl wheel always functioned as middle click and would open a link in a new tab - Firefox seams to ignore it (holding CMD while clicking does open in new tabs however). Is there a way to force firebird to recognize this - I'd rather not go installing new drivers or software because I've been fine without them this far.

2) With TBE installed the first tab open at the far left. The next on open at the far right - then they open on the left edge of the right most tab working their way towards the left. It's really difficult to navigate like this.

Disabling TBE solves the problem but kills the functionality.

Just incase you miseed it: I'm talking about an OS X machine running firefox.TIA.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
