Navigation buttons in Firefox

Warning This article was written over six months ago, and may contain outdated information.

Something that’s been bugging me for a while, that I’d forgotten to write about; why does Firefox 2 on Windows and Linux have the classic Back and Forward buttons:

Firefox 2 Browser buttons, XP

… while Firefox 2 on OS X has the crappy buttons?

Firefox 2 Browser buttons, OS X

If I’m not mistaken, FF2 beta releases on Windows had the crappy buttons, but were switched to the classic buttons after users complained. So why did the OS X version not switch too?

I’ve had to install a different theme on my Mac, as I kept hitting the Back History button by mistake. I use the GrApple theme instead.

  1. God, you mac zealots make me sick.

  2. You know, I like Macs, but this is idiotic.
