Gosh............I tried Opera, I often use in on my laptop.
Its a good & very sleek browser but it cant do many things which FF with extensions can do, hence on my desktop nothing works best than FF, bcoz I need to do multiple things while browsing.

Amir's method works bu has quirks. No, I didn't meant it to rhyme but it does so Sorry for that. Many Firefox 2 extensions work seamlessly but the Themes become a PITA as their buttons etc become inoperative, I mean to close a Tab one has to Right-Click on it and then Close it , the big X mark on the Tab doesn't works. Menus too are bit of jagged. All Ic an say is method is good but bit rough around the edges.

@Nightmare welcome friend
@Plasma_Snake, I have tested at least 7 of themes and only i find some problem in Metal Lion.
Themes are working good without problem but its icons are seems slightly small.
Testing 24 extension which i have already stored and all are working fine without any problem.
Exceptions are everywhere in this world.
BTW what theme u was trying?

@ Amir, I tried with Pimpzilla of Firefox 2. I even updated to its latest version but still the buttons are clogged.

well since its a new version, upon installing its working like a charm and I think there's nothing more to write here then. My earlier post was regarding the inaneness shown by the earlier version of Pimpzilla in Firefox 3.

Hello, read my words carefully.
First of all take my method as trick only. And it is best for each to know tips and tricks.
I am saying to install latest pimpzilla, behind the aim to check your browser working.
Download this old theme from here and then say anything if you really want to check my trick.
**www.brothersoft.com/pimpzilla-123627.html
it is the Old version of pimpzilla.
I have tested it also on my firefox 3.1 and its all working is normal.
But one thing keep in mind :
New is not = Old.
You can use my trick for those extension or theme which are rarely available as Ranjan was said.

Saying it again too,
ITS A TRICK to use older extension which will never be updated,
by altering the hard coded FF version number in the extension code.
This can be used for themes & extensions but few older version extension may cause hangups or higher use of ram/cpu, so be careful that altering the code should not make FF unstable.
