Firefox Mod for Rotorheads
By Manntis January 7, 2010
This mod replaces the default activity indicator (throbber) of boring spinning dots with a spinning rotor from a Wankel engine. On newer Firefox versions, a spinning rotor is also placed on the individual tabs or the loading pie chart is replaced with a pie chart styled rotor image.
This does not replace your current theme, and should work with most themes.
Note:
On later versions of Firefox, 3.5 and up, the activity indicator is not shown on the top toolbar. This can be fixed by right clicking on the toolbar, and selecting customize. Once you are in the Customize Toolbar window, just drag the activity indicator to where ever you want it.

D'Arcy (aka 'manntis') has owned several RX-7s over the years, including a 1985 GSL-SE that had once been the daily driver of Pamela Anderson. Named 'Pam' after its former owner, that car met an untimely death outside of Roger's Pass in the Canadian Rockies when the highway turned and, thanks to rain, the car didn't. D'Arcy started Rotorhead as a labour of love in 2002, tired of trying to find information on 1st gen RX-7s scattered throughout the internet.
