How to remake Firefox 3 in Internet Explorer 7


Here I will explain how to make Firefox 3 look similar to Internet Explorer 7 .
What may need this masquerade? For the sake of experiment or for users in the office who are accustomed to IE and do not perceive anything else. Or, as in my case, when after reinstalling the system, IE was installed and the evil admin (you radish, Vadik!) Refused to set Firefox for me, referring to some rules.
With IE, I did not suffer for a long time (more than a flying layout and broken scripts are infuriated by a bored new window that opens by clicking on the link to open in a new one ).
So, first of all I downloaded Firefox 3.0.1 and installed it in an inconspicuous daddy. I do not have access to the Program Files, because I don’t have admin rights, I’m an ordinary user ... almost.


Installed the Vista-aero add -on , this is a major step for visual similarity with IE , but this theme does not replace the icons and window title.


I used the Resource Hacker program (there is a similar Restorator program) to replace the icons firefox.exe with the icons from iexplore.exe . After that, the file name and label can be changed.
')

The window title is changed to Windows Internet Explorer using Nightly Tester Tools .
Thanks vilky for the tip.


I did not find how to rename Bookmarks to Favorite so stupidly disabled this menu item in the Personal Menu , and the item in Help About Firefox disabled it in the Menu Editor
That's what I got in the end:

Perfectionists can pick the “intelligent” navigation panel and restore the classic one with the Oldbar extension or browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped .

update
Edit the menu:
Go to ... \ Mozilla Firefox \ chrome, find there a jar with your locale (en_GB.jar?).
Inside this archive there is a file locale \ browser \ browser.dtd.
In it, find the line <! ENTITY bookmarksMenu.label "Bookmarks"> and rename as you like. It also does not hurt to change the bookmarksMenu.accesskey
So almost any line can be changed.
Thank you, romik !
