Flofox - Flock Theme for Firefox

Posted in Entertainment, SoapBox, Tech by Dan at 12:39 pm

Big thanks go to Joe for pointing this one out to us…

Not happy with Flock?. Yes, there are a few bugs and it is not truly 100% compatable with FireFox extensions. But that skin is ohhhhhhh so sweet! Now you can have the best of both worlds, the Flock look and feel with the power of FireFox! Not too shabby if you ask me. Now if we could only tame the memory usage :-)

~~All you need to do is just click this link for the theme and drag the downloaded file to your themes window.~~ See this link for the latest download.

UPDATE: Thank go to Pardal, for pointing out he is the author of this skin, as well as providing a link to the discussion happening over at Mozilla

Very nice… I downloaded Flock when it first came out (ended up hating it) but damn I loved that theme.

Ouch, lots of Flock haters here. Love the theme, hate the browser? I wonder if anyone would care to extrapolate?

very cool.

i’m using flock on and off but the new firefox just seems snapier and i guess i’ll have to stick with it until flock matures a little more.
until then i’ll just have to use this amazing theme.
thanks.

Thanks for the theme, it looks great. One thing, though — the icons on the tab bar look awfully stretched on my Firefox (1.5, for Linux). If anyone encounters similar problems, you could try inserting this code in your userChrome.css:

.tab-icon {
padding-top: 1px !important;
padding-bottom: 3px !important;
}

Looks fine after that. YMMV and all that, of course.

Hi:

Tried to install Flock’s theme in my Firefox 1.5 but no joy. Firefox would stop the installation. Tried several times, but same results.

Just for you to know. Meanwhile will keep on using Walnut theme for Firefox which is just as good, or maybe a little better.

Cheers,

Omar.-

Hello:

Just wanted to update my previous post. Went back and gave Flock’s theme one last chance. Somehow, everything worked out fine. I’m now enjoying the new blue look and it’s just gorgeous. It’s just like looking at Flock but with the flexibility and power of Firefox. Yea! Now you can bake the cake and eat it too.

Will switch between these two themes according to my working mood.

Thanks for the tip. Will spread it in my blog–Epiac’s Place.

Cheers,

Omar.-

I’m glad you like the theme!

This theme was original posted on the MozillaZine Forum. You will find some other bug fixes and how to get the Flock original urlbar:

And I prefer the name I gave for the theme: Fireflock! :-)

Why wasn’t it called Flox? It’s much cooler.

I like the Flock theme for Firefox, version 0.1.1.0

One minor gripe — the throbber disappears on non-active tabs.

I love it! I’ve been using this at the office for the past two weeks, and it’s perhaps the sleekest Firefox theme I’ve come across yet.

I am on Flock and I like it. It’s got some glitches but for me it works better than Firefox or Camino.

The roll-over state on the MAC version of firefox (1.5) adds annoying white lines around all toolbar links. Any fixes?

I can’t leave a comment good or bad because I can’t find the dang download button to download it and use it. The stupid people that designed this website are more interested in the advertising than they are the actual theme.
