What's your old skin (I might be able to write an updated hack)? The new version of TBP can be found here.

can you get that TBP to work in FireFox? I click on "tabprefs_0.5.xpi" and it says "This theme is not supported by your browser." WTF....its not a theme, its an extension!

I'm sure the author of the '80s Clint Eastwood film will file an injunction to prevent confusion with his film, and they'll have to go with some even lamer and more copyright friendly name like FireLinks or some cheese...

Name aside, I love the improvements with it... Those who are waiting for their extensions to become available, they should be soon. Seems the people who code them probably only have to tweak a line or two to get it to work...

My old theme was Luna from the same site as TBP. That version of TBP won't install to Firefox 0.8, nor will the latest version of the Luna skin.

I'm using TBE right now with the default skin and I'll deal with it for a while. The guy who makes the Luna skin and the TBP extension usually updates pretty regularly. I figure that by the end of the month he'll have a version that works with Firefox 0.8.

Fox's are quick and stuff, and they wanted an animal relating to quickness, cuz mozilla is quick. cool?

fire is like hot, and like, mozilla is hot too. cool?

therefore,

FireFox



Also, is there a difference between Mozilla and Opera?
