Firefox Form Widgets
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is a replacement for the default form widgets in Firefox. It's not dependent upon KDE, but I styled it with KDE in mind. The CSS is modified from the default one. I created all but the radio and checkbox images, which were created by the Pretty Widgets for OS X (readme included).
Update: There are now two different versions depending on your button preferences. The rest of the widgets are the same. The old one is now called "Full Style". The buttons in Full Style can be completely styled by the website's CSS.
The new version is "Partial Style". The buttons in Partial Style can be styled with exception of the border color. In return you get roundeded and better colored borders.
To install, download download the tar for the version you want. If you haven't changed your form widgets before, make sure to backup the default:
sudo cp -r /usr/lib/firefox/res/ /usr/lib/firefox/res_original
Then install:
tar -xvzf KDEwidgets.tar.gz
sudo mv ./KDEwidgets/* /usr/lib/firefox/res/

Give that a try.
On topic:
Nice idea, the checkboxes where bugging me quite a bit with their default style.. unfortunatly you didn't fix those.. I'll have a bit of playing around myself tho :)

find the "button:active:hover" section and change padding to 2px 8px 2px 8px and margin-bottom to 0px. I don't know if it will break anything, but my form buttons don't shift anymore.

You just want to place the files in the Firefox config folder. Try searching for forms.css: "locate forms.css | grep firefox". The folder should be named "res". You must be root to copy the files though.

I've tried different stylish-styles (stylish is a firefox extension), but never got such nice looking forms.
