ClearType

ClearType Step 1: Turn on Windows XP ClearType

"With Windows XP, ClearType delivers improved font display quality over traditional forms of font smoothing or anti-aliasing. ClearType improves readability on color LCD displays with a digital interface, such as those in laptops and high-quality flat panel displays. Readability on CRT screens can also be somewhat improved."

Plastikfox Crystal SVG

Mozillux

"If you're a true KDE user, give your Firefox the Plastik style and the Crystal SVG icons with this theme. It works from Firefox 0.8 up to Firefox 1.0 (both included). It also allows you to swap the button order in the dialog boxes so it's the same as in KDE. You just have to activate the corresponding checkbox and you're done."

My favourite theme for Firefox. Really nice and clean.
