Make Firefox Look like Internet Explorer 7 on Windows Vista

If you really want that look for your Firefox to look like internet explorer 7 in Windows Vista, then in order to achieve this look, the first thing we'll need to do is install a few addons to Firefox. The first add-on is the great theme called "myFirefox. Then we'll need to install the "Personal Menu" extension, which will allow us to hide the menu bar.

Once you have those both installed, and have restarted Firefox, we can move on. The first thing you'll notice is that the menu bar has moved. It's now in the same location that the menu bar on IE7 is when you hit the Alt key. You should note that the shortcut keys will still work normally (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+T, O, etc)

If you want to hide this menu using the Personal menu extension, then just right click somewhere on the top bar (the home button is a good choice).

You should see a new item in the menu called "Menus Toolbar". This will let you hide the menu. It will also give you an informational dialog telling you the shortcut key (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) should you want to show the menu again. You can change this key if you install the keyconfig extension.

In the right-click menu used above, you should also notice a new item called Menus \ Edit This Menu. If you select that, you will see this dialog that will let you show the menus via the same right-click menu.

This will let you get to the menus if you really want to. (Or you could use the shortcut key) 

Alternatively, you can add a "Personal Menu" button to your toolbar, and customize a couple of frequently used items on it. Just right-click \ Customize on the toolbar, and choose the shiny new "Menu" button shown on the left hand side of this screenshot, and drag it to your toolbar somewhere in your Microsoft Windows Vista.

Now you can edit the menus on that button, and choose whatever items that you would like to have appear.
