I personally love the OS X theme and think it is probably the best looking browser theme I have ever seen.

I find it hard to understand the arguments that Mozilla should have made Firefox (toolbar) UI follow the default OS X style more. This is mostly because I'm not at all sure that there even is one. Here is an example:

(iTunes, System Preferences, Finder and Mail open in OS X Tiger)

Mozilla seemed to take some elements from iTunes while adding some personal touches and I'm happy with that. Obviously they didn't want to just copy the Safari theme (which in my opinion, is boring as hell) like some have suggested, as it would only have led to half the people complaining about their lack of creativity anyway.

You can:

Vista Theme on XP

And if you want to use the XP theme on Vista - you can as well:

XP Theme on Vista

Thank you (Y).

Vista default FF3 style is just awful, XP's one looks much better.

They're following the Leopard style, same as iTunes.

Ahh.. at least they have unified the toolbar colours. It confused me quite a bit the first time I realized it. :)

To me, Firefox 3 buttons seem to be one part iTunes and one part Mail (the shapes), and (if you don't count some minor things like those pointed out by giga) the theme fits very well with OS X. I don't know why some are complaining about it so much (I'm not pointing at anyone here), but I guess it doesn't matter either as I like the theme so much.

I think the Windows Vista theme is actually pretty nice and surely we can all agree both the Windows themes are much better than Firefox 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0!? They were hideous!

I think the Windows XP theme fits in perfectly with the OS!

imo the firefox 1.5 theme was awesome and much better than 2.0's pointless redesign. The new themes in ff 3 look better though.

I quite the XP look, though I really dislike the tabs, I'd wish they'd just us the native xp tabs.

Also what is the blue glow on the search box suppose to represent?

The blue glow is the web site telling you 'Hi, I support the OpenSearch API! Click the button to add me to the list of searchable sites!'

      If they ever come out and say the AI is no longer accessible to the gen pop people aren't going to know how to tie their own shoelaces.

      It's hard not to when they are shoehorning Ai into EVERYTHING. Some are active users by choice, I bet a lot of them are because it's shoved in their face the entire time.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing by Hamid Ganji Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the way people research, get their news, and perform routine tasks has changed dramatically. Now, almost everything around us has a touch of AI, and companies are trying to embed it into nearly every product and service they offer. With that in mind, new research shows how Americans are actually adopting this change and using AI in their everyday lives. According to new research conducted by the Pew Research Center, 49% of American adults now use AI chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini. This marks a significant increase over last year, when only 33% of American adults reported using AI. Additionally, four in ten U.S. adults (42%) said they use AI tools to research information, while 38% said they use these tools to handle tasks at work. Entertainment, image and video editing, and getting medical advice are among the other ways Americans are using AI. Moreover, ChatGPT dominates the U.S. AI market, with 44% of respondents saying they use OpenAI's chatbot. Gemini follows at 24%, while Copilot and Meta AI account for 17% and 14%, respectively. Respondents also said that AI chatbots generally have a positive impact on their productivity and how informed they are. But when it comes to AI’s impact on society, Americans remain largely skeptical. About 40% of American adults believe AI will be more harmful than beneficial to society over the next 20 years. Additionally, 31% expect AI to have a negative effect on them personally. Another 31% of respondents say AI could be equally positive and negative. As for data security, pessimism remains high: 71% of respondents say AI will make their personal information less secure, while only 3% believe it will make their data more secure. American adults also largely lack confidence in both the government and AI companies when it comes to regulating and developing AI. About 67% of Americans have little to no confidence in the U.S. government’s ability to regulate AI effectively. Six in ten adults are also not confident that U.S. companies will develop and use these tools responsibly.
