    Firefox 3 (Minefield) Gets Pretty Widgets

    Hate the ugly form widgets in Firefox 2? Want to stab your eyes out if you see one? Okay, have a

      Thank you for posting about the new form widgets. I've been using Firefox with some CSS code hacks in order to better integrate with my Linux desktop.
