The ugly look of FireFox above the V2.X.X

Ever since the V3 of FireFox has come out, it looks like Safari with the dark metal look. This is the way to change it and you can change it back later if you want.
First of all,
Control+Click (or right click) the V2.X.X application, then you'll get:

show package content/content/MacOS/chrome/classic.jar

Copy the 'classic.jar' file and

do the same to the V3 and replace the 'classic.jar' file you just copy from V2.

Restart you V3 FireFox and the old dark metal look is gone.

Have fun and enjoy the clean look!

New look for FireFox V3 and up - AJJX

Firefox 2.0 is only surpassed by Firefox 1.0 in terms of being un-Mac like. Why would you want to go back to the hacked-up pseudo unsuccessful fakery of 2.0 and below? I mean, skin the damn thing if you must, but at least Firefox 3.0's default appearance looks like it belongs on a Mac. It has better inline widgets (Aqua instead of flat no-platform controls) and it complies with Apple UI guidelines much better (still not 100%, but an improvement), and it doesn't look like a 12 year old designed it without ever having used a Mac before.
