Mozilla interface designer Alex Faaborg said in a blog posting last week.

Quote

Mozilla's user experience team literally wants to do a better job of visually integrating with Windows than IE, and a better job of visually integrating with OS X than Safari. I don't know if we will be able to pull that off, but that's the goal.


Firefox 3 (code-named Gran Paradiso) will have different looks for Windows XP and Windows Vista, The developers are working to make it, adopt the look of the operating system on which it's running. The much broader diversity of Linux interface options makes it more challenging. Red Hat, Suse and Ubuntu all look different, just to name three popular versions, and as a further complication, each is available with the KDE and GNOME graphical interfaces.

The moment they add full Aero support (like IE7) on Vista, I will officially give Firefox an 11/10!!!
