Well that's not 100% true because the main interface for Firefox on Mac OS X looks more like Safari than it does Firefox on Linux.
I think they've actually done a really good job making it look like a native app instead of just a port from some other OS.

- blasdel 17y agoIt's not about looks, but about behavior. Fun Fact: In Safari since version 3, the <input> elements aren't actually native widgets anymore, as NSButton et. al. couldn't support a bunch of the CSS attributes. They are now rigorous behavior-level reimplementations! A widget that looks native but behaves differently is terrible! At least when it looks alien you don't expect it to behave natively.
