FireFox 3.7 Alpha

I just found this [link] and decided to post it. FireFox's 3.7 Alpha 5 lets you throw your tabs on the top of the browser window, right below the title bar, like Chrome. I've been wanting Mozilla to do that for a while now. xD

It's looking good so far, but they really need to remove the title bar for it to be on par w/ Chrome. Tabs on top AND flush w/ top of screen when maximized is what makes the feature great in Chrome (allows less precise clicking, if you're like me & don't switch tabs using key shortcuts).

I just use chromifox extreme, works great.

Awesome, thanks for the tip Airbot! Is there any way you know of to remove the title bar though?

This part here?



Not that I know of.

Anybody know when the 3.7 beta will come out? I don't really care to download Alpha software, and like to wait for the beta. Also, I really wish Firefox 3.7 would focus more on performance than design. Chrome, Opera, and even the latest IE 9 platform still out perform it in sunspider benchmarks.

Chrome or Opera 10.5+

Basically the only reason I don't use those is the convenience of Mozilla Weave. I was using an Xmarks account across various browsers & machines until I discovered that Weave syncs browser history, which Xmarks does not do.

Removing the title bar in Mozilla Firefox - the simple way.

Thus far I am pleased with the way 3.7 (should be 4.0 when it hits beta, IIRC) is progressing. It's still too experimental for some of my add-ons, but it is snappy.
