Title: HowTo: Improve Firefox Forms
Description: Enhanced Firefox forms
Linux Version: SuSE v9.x, Firefox 1.03



Have you noticed forms in Firefox appear a little tight (ex. www.google.com/firefox, the button sits just underneath the input box)? If so, I have the solution (see screenshot). The attached tar file fixes the default style sheet and adds some new objects (png's) to make Firefox under linux the best I have seen.



1) Save the attached "[i]ff_forms[/i]" file to a folder on your hard disk. In my case I placed it in a folder I created named /home/<username>/MyTmp. <[i]username[/i]> is your login name. However, you may use any folder of your choosing.

2) Extract the contents of "ff-forms.tar.gz" (ie. right click and then extract here). The result will be a folder named "[b]res[/b]" containing the files you need (ie. /home/<username>/MyTmp/ff-forms.tar.gz_FILES/res).

3) Open a terminal session and change to root (ie. su & <return>). You will be prompted for the root password.

4) Copy new files to Firefox directory.



6) Exit your terminal session and delete the source files/directory from "/home/<username>/MyTmp".

All done!

Open firefox and enjoy ....


Cheers ....


Disclaimer: This works for Firefox v1.03 under Gnome v2.10 Suse v9.3. It may work under other versions as well. Any updates to Firefox may require you to re-run this process, so save this file on your hard disk.
