The main problem with Firefox, is the GTK theme, because part of it is used for rendering widgets in the (x)html page (misconception to my opinion), like buttons, text area and the like.
My idea is to use another GTK theme just for FF, one that is ok in rendering web page and looks close to my theme. You can also use you own theme but copied and modified only for Firefox.
So, no need to tweek any files in firefox and the installation is still clean.
My solution:
  • A gtkwrap script in /usr/local/bin/:

    Code: Select all

    #!/bin/sh
    export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
    "$@"
  • A firefox wrapper in /usr/local/bin/ too:

    Code: Select all

    #!/bin/sh
    gtkwrap /usr/bin/firefox "$@"
Here I chose ClearLooks unmodified.

Hopes it helps.
Thank you very much for that clever tip. I'm already using the GTK2_RC_FILES tip with Firefox and XMMS but the "gtkwrap" is really nice, less mess.
What does the command export do?
I'm just putting scripts at ~/bin, I don't like to deal with root areas ~/.profile and bash (am I doing it right?)

export made the variable available to subscripts if any. As the command to run with gtkwrap could be a script itself and so on, I prefer to export the variable. But sorry, my script is bash. To make it sh-compliant, you better have to do :

Code: Select all

GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
export GTK2_RC_FILES
On slackware it doesn't matter as sh is actually bash.
