Firefox Widgets

Firefox widgets (buttons, radio buttons, drop down menus, text fields and checkboxes) in Ubuntu don’t look so good. I don’t like it. And I’m not the only one. So, we can change the images and CSS code for the widgets so Firefox will look really nice :)

Here’s a tip from Ubuntu Forums.

Steps to make Firefox widgets look good

• Download the Firefox Widget Installer

• available at the end of the first post (direct link)

• Run the installer

  • unpack the archive and run the graphic_installer
  • install in the Firefox directory (default is /usr/lib/firefox)

• Make this the default look, even when Firefox is updated

  • to make the default look

  1sudo dpkg-divert --add /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css
  

  • to undo the previous

  1sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css
