Is is possible to change the Firefox interface to look like this? Or is it already available as a download? I soooo miss using Netscape back in 2001 as a kid.

I just found something called Foxscape, but its incompatible with the latest Firefox 41 that i'm using. BTW I use Zorin Core Linux as my online OS.

that's why firefox sucks 😀 forced changes upon users with the interest to race Google Chrome in regressions and donotwant features nobody asked for...

Better use Seamonkey for wanting that Netscape-esque apearance. Ironically there's no Netscape theme for that either, the one for it was for 1.x only. and it's called Seazilla, which can work with the latest Seamonkey if you use this addon

He said about the interface wich was changed to the one not similar to Chrome.

It's evidently that he prefers Firefox and apearance is secondary thing for him.

I also miss the yellow exclamation mark when new email used to arrive.

Because dial-up was expensive in the 1990s I used to check email Sunday and Wednesday only.

Works a treat. Not precisely the same as old Netscape but it'll do.

I gave up using Firefox on this Linux box a while back.
