Make Firefox look like Internet Explorer...

My dear friends,

Are you unsuccessfully trying to switch someone in your life from Internet Explorer to Firefox?

Some IE users say they are reluctant to make the switch from IE to Firefox because IE is the only web browser they have ever used.
Now you can make the switch for them, without them ever knowing the difference.

John Haller has come up with a ";How to Guide" for making Firefox look just like Internet Explorer .
Haller maintains on his site that he created the "How To"" not as a tribute to IE but as a way to show everything Firefox is capable of doing, and how liking the IE layout is not a reason to stick with the browser.
He furthers his point by saying "I still think Internet Explorer should be removed, placed in the corner and set on fire."

The tip can also be great for going undercover in places like schools and businesses that don't allow the use of open source software.

You can get relatively the same effect as John's guide by using the Firefox Add-on Neofox IE 6 which will make Firefox look like Internet Explorer 6.

Enjoy uninterupted Browsing with FireFox...

I got them at Make Firefox Look Like Internet Explorer :: Mozilla Stuff :: JohnHaller.com .
If you have more than one window open and you have Windows XP set to group similar taskbar buttons, the group will be labeled Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. This is because Windows pulls the name for groups from the actual EXE.If you're using these instructions to replace Internet Explorer with Firefox on a non-techie's computer where they don't like the Firefox interface, I would recommend not altering the Window Title or icons. That way, you can still tell which one is Firefox and which one is Internet Explorer... but browsing will feel the same.
