picked up the UX build of Fx and they got rid of the borders around the buttons like chrome... for personas it works better, however default looks (no stratiform or stylish) looks a bit naked LOL.... hope they improve the icons.

adding stratiform fixes a lot of it.

I completely got it to look like chrome with the help of a 3rd party theme+stratiform.... had it on there for 10 seconds.... immediately disabled becuase it creeped me out so much!!!!!!!! aaahhhh!!!!

What is the difference between the UX Build and Firefox Beta, Aurora, and Nightly ? Is it worth using ?

The UX build is the test bed for user interface changes, using the Nightly builds as codebase. Is it worth using? If you want to be among the first to see UI changes in Firefox then yes.

Thanks very helpful and makes perfect sense! Good to know. This place is awesome with keeping up with all the latest browser news! Feel like I missed out for so many years. The best part it is the most global community ever! At least from what I seen. That is what I like a lot about it.

Tab animation is landing in Mozilla Central in Today's build so highly chances are that it will be in Mozilla Firefox 8 (unless they not backout it). Latest patch is 19 for Tab animation, check with latest UX build. I am waiting for its arrival on Mozilla Central aka Nightly channel. Mozilla Rocks!!!

Did someone know how to disable this new tab animation and return into old style ?

Will have to wait a bit for the new animation to get into the Aurora build, unless I haven't noticed it already. Go to about:config and try changing the following setting.

browser.tabs.animate >>> set to false

If tab animation 'sticks' in Nightly, it'll be in Aurora in three weeks (when the next merge occurs).

Zlip792, if you don't want to get dizzy, I suggest don't follow the ups and downs quite so very closely :) That's part of why I stick to Aurora - not just because it's more stable in a general sense, but also more stable in terms of feature changes. I just know if I go to Nightly, I'll start reading the changelogs even more closely, and I do it too much already.

You and I are both think the same :laugh:

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
