I'm a Linux and OS X user, and having to look at those ugly widgets that are very out of place is very irritating. The only reason I don't switch to Camino on OS X or Konqueor on Linux (I'm a GNOME user, btw) is due to extensions. It's also quite annoying having Firefox be the only application that doesn't follow your icon theme. Those default icons look very out of place.
True that it is annoying that it Firefox Doesn't follow the theme. And I'm not saying the the widgets shouldn't look like the ones for the OS.
What I'm saying is Firefox should stick to one graphic toolkit on every platform. Right now that is GTK+
Native widgets are a good thing.
If that is true than Firefox should us QT widgets when I'm in KDE, and EFL when I'm in Enlightenment and Motif when I'm on Aix, and Whatever sun uses in the Openwin Evironment. And then on Windows the select box can float above all other widgets no matter what zlayer it is on just like IE.
And then new releases can take longer as they try to work the bugs out of all supported toolkits.
And then we can test our web applications agains't all versions in case the different widgets don't function the same.
Sound like a lot of fun!
