Looks nice, I might even get firefox for my laptop, just so I can have that theme. It looks really cool.

You'll like it. Firefox is a lot better than explorer. Uber more user friendly, has a great download manager, the best security, and I personally think it runs a little faster than explorer. Thanks for the compliment, enjoy!

Bump for an acceptable reason

I consolidated the files, finally figured out how to install them, and made the process of adding the theme a heck of a lot easier. This should also stop Firefox from deleting the theme whenever it updates.

In Firefox, go to tools, add-ons, themes
Drag the CAP.jar file into the window and it will automatically install
Restart Firefox, chill before serving, and enjoy

Enjoy it! Tell your friends! I'm trying to figure out a way to distribute it a little more widely.

go to an office supply store and get some 3x5 cards print on them, do a "before & after" screenshot and put a title at the top saying "Civil Air Patrol Firefox menu theme" then your B&A then down at the bottom put "Like what you see? You can get it free at http://website.com" and put this on your squadron website or something whatever. Heck let caplopedia link to it as well.

Another update -

I realized that I set the version set incorrectly, and the theme didn't work above Firefox version 2.0.0.7 (current is 2.0.0.13). This new file should be valid until version 3.0

Here's the new file, same link as before.

Perhaps, provided you don't mind that a number of websites don't properly display in Firefox...

As for security, it's not necessarily any better there either. The simple fact is that IE is the most popular browser in use. As such it is more frequently targeted. Not to mention, as with any other application, it is vulnerable simply from users not making required updates/configurations.

The only problem I've ever had is that I can't watch Netflix movies on Firefox. But thats pretty minor and is the only problem I've had after using the system for a couple of years.
