    Some of you may have noticed that the buttons in firefox are kind of square (windows classic look). I found these instructions at ubuntuforums.org that will create nicer looking buttons and I thought I'd share them with you guys.

    Open a terminal and type (or copy and paste) the following lines:

    wget http://users.tkk.fi/~otsaloma/art/firefox-form-widgets.tar.gz

    tar -xvzf firefox-form-widgets.tar.gz

    sudo cp /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css.bak

    cat firefox-form-widgets/res/forms-extra.css | sudo tee --append /usr/lib/firefox/res/forms.css > /dev/null

    sudo cp -r firefox-form-widgets/res/form-widgets /usr/lib/firefox/res

    rm -rf firefox-form-widgets

    Make sure you use the right firefox directory...in the instructions i use usr/lib/firefox, but I have seen other variations such as usr/lib/mozilla-firefox...for swiftfox it's most likely opt/swiftfox

    To compare the before and after looks, a good site to look at is google.com
