Found via Planet Mozilla:

First mockups of the Linux theme/UI refresh for Firefox 3.7 and 4.0. The screenshots show how they're aiming to make the Linux version look similar to the Windows and the Mac OS X version.

Can they make the back and forward buttons consistent please. I want both back and forward buttons the same.

Why so? You use back more than forward, thus making the back larger is quite a sensible design choice.

I love the colour scheme there. In fact, I'd like to use that as a theme. :p

Make it so!

BTW the forward and back buttons are almost the same size (the arrows), it's just ones circle shaped, and one isnt. Isn't that much of an issue is it?

Urgh... I swear, Firefox gets uglier with each release... :x

This may not be the prettiest style out there, but the 3.7/4.0 mockups for Windows are ridiculously awesome.

tabs on top is a stupid decision. It's one of the reasons I use Firefox and not Chrome.

That is your opinion. My opinion is its a great decision, I prefer them on the top.

Even though I'm all for tabs-on-top I believe Chrome should offer the ability to switch it to the way firefox has it right now. But on top by default.

Looks good except for the orange color used in the icons. I understand going with the system colors but using it at such a high saturation seems a bit off. The Mac/Windows variants just use a dark shadow for that area. I think it would work if they really desaturated that inner icon color or made the shadow on it stronger.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By Legend20 · Posted

      You are clueless. The updates are done in the background so the next time you open Edge the updates are applied automatically. There is no need to close all your tabs. Just keep browsing like you normally do. Clearly you don't use Edge and are just one of those haters that complain for the sake of complaining.

      Microsoft is busy. Lots of changes to be released imminently for Windows server or soon. Also, lots happening for next version as well. Third party virus scanning software is being moved out of Kernel mode to avoid repeat of Crowdstrike incident. Windows Protected Mode and Windows Ready Print no longer require third party print drivers to be installed. New storage stack being developed. New NVME drivers now available for Windows Server 2025 to improve local NVME drive performance by 60+ percent. NVME-Of of fabric being worked on for next release to improve network access to NVME drives. ReFs (next file system) now has ability to boot and will become default file system in next release of Windows Server. ReFs improves on NTFS in several areas including resiliency and reliability and scalability. New update stack is being worked on to unify Windows updates, and updates for drivers and first party/3rd party application software. A stricter and more robust third-party driver certification program (ODI) is being worked on to improve performance, thermals, battery life, and reliability on modern Windows hardware by tightening how OEMs and IHVs (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA, etc.) build and ship drivers. There is a tone more but too numerous to mention.
