We have already seen the mock up theme for the upcoming version of Mozilla Firefox 4. This mock up theme for Firefox 4 can be enabled on Firefox 3 with an add-on. The Strata40 theme is designed to mimic the look and functionality of the Firefox 4 mock ups floating around the net. This theme for Firefox works with version 3.5 and above. Although the Strata40 theme gives the mock up effect, a combination of other add-ons and user scripts will give the complete look and feel of Firefox 4 mock up theme.
There are other recommended add-ons for complete effects like aero glass, tabs on top of the navigation bar.
Here is a list of add-ons required to get the full Firefox 4 experience:
- StrataGlass :: Needed for aero glass effects- Download
- Personal Menu :: Needed for tools and bookmarks toolbar buttons- Download
- Omnibar :: Not essential but great for using the address bar for searching instead of the search bar- Download
- Fission :: Needed for “progress line” feature. Shows the page’s loading progress as a small line below the address bar- Download
- Tabs on Top :: The mock ups also include a tabs on top version. If you would like a tabs on top version install an add-on called Stylish- Download
- Then install this user style : Download
Once these add-ons and styles are installed, you get the Firefox 4 mock up theme on Firefox 3.
Thanks to CyberNetNews for this tip.
On the screenshot that you have there, you need to rearrange the icons by putting the stop button right after the address bar and then the refresh button after that. That way they will combine.
