I realised today that I needed to install the delicious plugin, so a quick search of the word "delicious" and up pops up a search result of a theme called "grApple Delicious".
On closer inspection it looked like a Safari style theme for Firefox. I've always been a bit niggley about the default Firefox theme on OS X, but it's never irked me enough to decide to try another theme. With this theme staring me in the face I decided "why not".
Here is a screen shot of what it looks like:
Ok not 100% perfect. Everything at least fits the OS X look and feel (which I never though the default Firefox theme ever did) and even the close button on the tabs are on the correct side of the tab (the LEFT hand side, dammit!). The tab itself is not joining the top half of the frame though, is the wrong shade of grey, and the spinner / favicon is on the left hand side of the tab which looks awkward.
A bit of googling reveals the original site which created the theme, located at takebacktheweb.org. A quick look and I notice there's another grApple theme they've created called Yummy. The screenshot looks like it addressed the niggles that I had, so I download the theme. Screenshot of it running on my box is below:
They are minor improvements but I think it just adds that little extra bit of polish. The tabs are the right colour, the spinner is on the right hand side of the tab, and they are no favicons on the tab (favicon is only displayed on the location bar).
Perfect. My new default Firefox theme on my Mac :)
