Fix Firefox 4 Min, Max, Close Button UI on Windows XP

We all knew that Mozilla Firefox 4 is the best web browser, and you have to admit that :), and the latest Fx4 has changed it’s User Interface (UI) too.
But Firefox 4 on Windows XP that uses a custom visual style (theme) the spacing of the buttons are a messed.

as you can see the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons are not well alligned or the spacing of the buttons are not properly arranged when we use a custom visual style or custom themes in windows xp.
This is not an issue in Windows 7 even if you are using custom themes.

So, how are we going to fix that?
All we need is to install Firefox 4 UI Fixer addon for firefox to clean things up and fix that Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons in firefox 4.
After installing the addon, Click the Firefox button, then click Add-Ons or press (CTRL+SHIFT+A) shortcut keys.
Now, click Firefox UI Fixer options button and be sure to check, Always Show Window Titlebar

and then click OK button.
