some questions- 1)how do i make it look like that in firefox.
2)safari actually runs slower than firefox in my pc...how do i make it load pages faster
3)the tab bar is not always visible & i did not find an option that says"always show the tab bar" like in firefox.is there an option to keep the tab bar visible at all times?

i use an airtel gprs connection & i have tweaked firefox to run faster.is there any such tweaks to optimise safari?

I have used Safari before and was shocked for it amazing speed since I also use Airtel GPRS, after using it for a while I seems to be very buggy for me and turned to Firefox and FF works like a breeze for me. I tnk there is an option to optimize fonts in Safari. Try Edit | Preference | Appearance | Font smoothing.
