Finding the Firefox Flock
I finally got off the couch and downloaded the Firefox browser that's received so many rave reviews. Overall I dig it. Nice and clean and simple. One complaint, the buttons and pulldowns have very boxy edges (like the Volvos used to be). Is there some skin or plug-in or whatever that will make my buttons and pulldowns look sexy like in Safari under OS X?
Update
I know FireFox has the AdBlock plugin which is quite cool, but is there anything that will let ads load, but prevent the flash ads from automatically playing and looping. Often I find them distracting and simply uncheck the play box, but I have to do that manually. And also, is viewing source the only way to find the server of these flash ads to block them with AdBlock?
Comments
Hey, try this to block flash:
Use Adblock to enable/disable Flash.
You could use CTRL-SHIFT-F to disable flash but you must do it for each and every site you visit. To me it's a cumbersome and not ideal.
To disable flash: CTRL-SHIFT-P for Adblock Preferences and add *.swf.
To enable flash: CTRL-SHIFT-P and edit *.swf and change it to *.swfx.
