Making Firefox Look And Feel Like Another Browser

If you are a Firefox user, but want to make it look or act like another browser, such as Internet Explorer, Opera or Safari, then I have a perfect article for you. The aptly named article, “How to make Firefox look and feel like IE, Safari, or Opera” takes a really good analysis of the default behavior of each browser and then points you in the direction of settings or add-ons to get in order to change Firefox’s feel.

While this may not appeal to a lot of people for everyday use, one idea is this can be used as a tool to help move from, for example, Internet Explorer to Firefox. Since a lot of users have been using IE for so long, even the suggestion of change may be enough to make people biased against Firefox. If you apply the look and behavior changes from this article, people may make the transition a bit easier. If they are just “normal” users, they might not even know the difference.

Unless you are experimenting or just happen to like the look of another browser, the real use, I believe, for this tip is it can really help people move to a more secure browser. If only Mozilla could find a way to make ActiveX stable in Firefox… IE transitioners would be in business.
