Firefox 3.7 GUI Redesign for Windows 7, Vista and XP

Airbot · 20 Jul 2009

Mozilla plans to redesign the graphical user interface of future versions of its open source browser for the Windows operating system. In fact, the initial themes for the Windows theme revamping have already been published, are available via Mozilla Wiki, and are included at the bottom of this article. According to Mozilla, the GUI overhaul is planned for Firefox version 3.7. At this point in time, users can download Firefox 3.5, which has been made available at the end of June, 2009. No telling yet just where Firefox 3.7 fits into Mozilla's plans moving forward. The mockups involve the GUI on the various releases of the Windows client, including Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Looks pretty awesome. I guess I'll have no use for the Glasser extension, then.

i think M$ should annex the mozilla foundation. i say annex cos if they bought em out instead they'd screw it up.

Firefox 3.5 + has glass implemented you just need to apply it, so technically you don't need glasser. The only advantage glasser will give you is ease of use since you do not have to alter the css yourself.

How do I enable the glass? What do I enter in userChrome.css?

I'm using 3.5.1, and it's slightly buggy. How do I switch back to 3.5?

Download Firefox 3.5 - FileHippo.com

Wouldn't recommend it though, as 3.5 had a security issue with it.

Nice find. I'm glad to see that change is coming to the default skin.
