Beautify Firefox widgets in Ubuntu

firefoxwidget_20070527.jpg
The thing about Firefox under Linux is that its form widgets look a little nasty.

It's a big improvement, unless you're into the whole super-aliased, shadow-casting button thing.

Very cool, I followed the KDE instructions a few posts down and it worked like a charm in Fiesty 7.04

The widgets make the form fields on this site look like smilies:

Note the "Google Search" buttons. How is that to be fixed?
