Aqua-Soft Forumsok, the firefox to safari stickied post is super outdated.
ive gotten a lot of comments about my emulation of safari.
so i thought id make a tutorial.
first off, this is for firefox 1.0.7 or 1.0.4. it wont work with other versions (sorry. if you really want this, you can download 1.0.7 at [here]
note: this tutorial is mainly aimed toward those with windowblinds.
ok. first things first.
1. download the .rar and extract it to a folder.
open up firefox and go to tools>themes. install "Safari Firefox Theme.jar" by dragging the file to the themes window.
2. now go to tools>extensions. drag "rss extension" "titlebar tweak" "tabbrowser" "stop_reload combination" "compact menu" "fusion" and "add bookmark" to the extensions window. exit firefox.
3. do the run command (start menu>run, or windows key+r) and type in "%appdata%mozillafirefoxprofiles" (without the quotation marks) it will open a folder with another folder inside it, one with obscure numbers and letters. open this and navigate the "chrome" folder inside this.
drag "userChrome.css" and "userContent.css" to the window. if you already have such files, (leave "userchrome Example" and usercontent example - those dont matter) then open up the files i have included and copy/paste the contents into yours, and save it.
4. open up your firefox folder (by default, c:program filesmozilla firefox) and naviagate to the chrome folder. when youre there, drag and drop "browser.jar" and "help.jar" to the chrome folder window. it will ask you to replace the files - say ok.
5. go to your windowblinds configuration window. click "install from disk" and find "Windowblinds Safari.wba" and open it.
go to "per application" and select "add application settings" (if you havent already specified a firefox theme)
browse and find firefox.exe (usually c:program filesmozilla firefoxfirefox.exe) and hit ok. click "select skin" and find "Tiger Safari by Toyo Snow" and click ok, then ok again. click "apply changes" and exit wbconfig.exe
6. open firefox and go to tools>extensions.
a. right click titlebar Tweaks and select options. under layout, check "webpage title". click OK
b. right click Tabbrowser Extensions. in "Appearance>Tab" check "Show in any tab always" in the closebox area. in "Misc", check "Use another appearance for Firefox on Mac OS X"
7. Right click any place on the firefox toolbar and select "Customize"
Drag "Compact Menu" (the icon that looks like lines of text) to the bar with the address bar. the "File, Edit, etc" menu will disappear. Now, from the main naviagation bar, drag the following to the top bar where the file menu used to be in this order (from left to right):
Back/forward buttons
Stop/refresh
Add Bookmark
Compact menu
Address Bar and Search bar
now click OK on the customize window. right click on the toolbar and uncheck "Navigation Toolbar"
8. Rightclick>customize again. make sure on the lower bar, your bookmark toolbar items are showing. then, drag the bookmark icon from the window to the bookmark toolbar, before the bookmark text.
That should be about it.
NOTE I DID NOT MAKE ANY OF THESE SKINS/EXTENSIONS, IF YOU WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE WORK, I HAVE NO PROBLEM, JUST TALK TO THEM AND NOT ME
if any of the developers dont approve of their skin/extension being in this package/tutorial, please tell me and ill make sure it is removed.
Cheers, and kudos to the makers of these components
edit: yeah im sorry...not 1.5. it wont work
