Yet another style to replace "about:blank" page.
I'm place "throbber" in the middle of the page. I recommend to use this style with "Speed Dial" or "Fast Dial" extension on Fx and replace all new tabs with speed/fast dial page. Try to use this style with any framed site or site with IFRAMEs. %)

And one moment -- throbber animated. If you see frozen image -- something wrong, but not in my style.

Compatible with Fx 3.0+

UPD: base64 encoded image replaced with default Fx throbber.
UPD: Code replaced with PTMblogger's code. Thank you, PTMblogger.

EDIT: You're Welcome. I like a lot of this style and I hope it keeps improving. :)

Very good, but I have some ideas so it is nicer on the new Firefox 3, and remain compatible with other about:blank themes.

My opinion is to use:

body {
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
background: url("chrome://global/skin/icons/loading_16.png") no-repeat fixed center center !important;
margin: 0px !important;
}

Also, check my about:blank - System native colors, that I think that would be very nice with a throbber in the middle (actually, I am using your theme together with mine and it looks awesome). *****
