While watching College Gameday this morning I decide to make my Firefox act like Google Chrome. Here is how...
Install these Firefox add-ons:
Speed Dial - Displays thumbnails of your most frequently accessed sites on new blank Firefox tabs. (not automatically populated like Chrome, you must add sites manually)
Tiny Menu - Lets you collapse your menu to save space.
Locationbar2 - Emphasizes the domain name in the address bar, to reduce risk of being tricked by a spoof site.
Prism - Application shortcuts for online apps. This one was tricky to get working with Ubuntu. The firefox add-on didn't work and v0.9 had some style issues. To get it working I installed v0.9.1 from Fabien Tassin PPA.. https://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive ...it's probably much easier in OS X and Windows.
Then you can create Webmail Prism app using URL:
https://beta.mailtrust.com/mailbeta/login.php?user_name=EMAIL&password=PASSWORD
(filling in your email address and password)
Here is the launcher icon I used:
Not quite as pretty as Chrome, but its a good start...
(oh ya, and I turned my Ubuntu desktop into a Mac. More on that some other time)
