Mozilla is always looking at ways it can improve Firefox and has not shied away from experimentation. However, with the new rapid release cycle, we may start seeing the results of these experiments a lot sooner than before.

One example is a proposed UI revamp, which is only in mockup form now, but which already looks promising.

The aim of the revamp seems to be simplifying the few remaining UI elements, the tab bar in particular.

Looks like IE9, FF, Safari and Chrome had a baby.

Looks like crud.

The problem with design is - no one knows when to stop when they've apexed.

That's the price for trying to keep up with the Joneses. Redesigning the wheel because someone else did and turning it into a square in the process.

just because you can change it and add fancy stuff doesn't mean you should.

I like it. With tabs in the title bar I can use the bookmarks bar to store my all time fav sites I visit every day, keep everything else under the usual bookmarks , and still have enough screen space to go blind
