Hey sherri, Firefox can be skinned without WB, themes for it can be downloaded from Mozilla. What Adamness is saying is that because of this and depending on what Firefox theme you are using that basically WindowBlinds will only skin the window frames. All WB skins will work for Firefox, although darker skins can sometimes have text readability issues due to font colors and how Firefox font colors are handled.
With Firefox I use the default theme so more of the WB elements are applied.

What you should know, is that WB typically won't skin anything but the outer border of the window. No worries though, since Firefox has many good skins available, including a few in the WC gallery.
