Firefox Widgets

[Hoag]

Excellent! When I first got Ubuntu, I noticed the less than lovely looking widgets , and this made everything much better!

Worked seamlessly, and took less than a minute to do.

Two thumbs up.

This didn't apear to work with my install, I think it's because I don't have the /usr/local/firefox32 directory. How do I know what path I should set instead?

Thanks.

Well what browser are you trying to install to? Regular firefox or firefox32?

Thanks for this, fatsheep.

You reminded me of this article: http://mpt.net.nz/archive/2005/04/11/ubuntu

The form controls Firefox draws in Web pages are not just inconsistent with those in the rest of the operating system, they are quite possibly the ugliest interactive controls seen in any graphical interface since AmigaDOS 2.04. For example, text fields have borders that, by default, are visible on only two sides out of four. <select> elements are rendered not as normal option menus, but as much less efficient drop-down scrolling listboxes. And radio buttons look like they were drawn in the dark with a broken pencil.

I appreciate your work on the script (and of course the artist's work it installs) but why is this not fixed by default (two years after the article)?

Didn't even realise there *was* a Firefox32.....

I think I must be running the regular version, whatever comes with Ubuntu as standard.

Cheers.

Fx is desktop agnostic.

It works the same way on xfce (tested and approved)

Ok, I changed the install path to:

/usr/share/firefox

Which appears to be where FF lives on my Ubuntu install, and it still isn't working.

Do I need to reboot or something?
