The theme is a whole lot nicer than the PC version, and it certainly is much better than Firefox 2 on Mac (that theme was horrible, not to mention un-Mac like ).

Yeah I know, especially on OS 10.4 and later, since the theme on the Finder in those versions aren't even close to the theme in Firefox 2.

Do they make the Mac theme of Firefox 3 for XP?
