Are you one of those people that has been using Internet Explorer for as long as you can remember and then suddenly one day someone told you to check out Firefox because it’s a hundred times better? You give it a shot and end up really like it, especially with it’s ability to be extended and enhanced using addons and extensions.

However, a problem that you can end up having is the fact that you’re so used to the location of all the buttons in IE that you’re constantly clicking in the wrong places to get to Home or to Refresh the page, etc. Or maybe you simply liked the Internet Explorer interface more, especially after the release of version 7? Or maybe you hate that too and really like the Mac interface a lot?

Whatever you like or don’t like, you can change the interface of Firefox to look like Internet Explorer 6, 7 or Mac Safari browser! This may not be very practically useful, but for those people who like to stick to one type of GUI, this is the best way to switch browsers without feeling like you really have!

Of course, only a Firefox addon would allow you to do this. That’s why Firefox is better! ;)
