How to Make Firefox Use Windows Vista theme in Windows XP

I Personally don’t like the Firefox 3 theme for Windows XP in fact the windows vista’s Firefox theme looks much better and I badly wanted to change my theme to that of vista’s but I don’t like to use third party themes with my browser as they can slow down my browser, I came across this post on how-to geek and ever since I have been using the vista theme in Firefox and it looks just great and doesn’t slows down the browser unlike other third party themes because this theme is integrated in Firefox by default and you just need to activate it.
