Future Firefox Mockups Look Gorgeous, Practical (Pics)

it undoubtedly looks like it's trying to appeal to the mac/chrome stylings.

those are obviously markets they want to get more interest from

Well I am keeping 3.6 on my desktop. I hate the chrome look and do not want to switch.

3.6 user here as well - but I think we're running out of time

i was reluctant to try 4.0 much less 5.0 which updated to the latest 6.0 beta, but with my addons and several about:config tweaks i'm very happy.

Looks like Chrome/Opera/Ex-PLODE-r 9. Tastes like chicken.

Can someone tell me what the f*ck is wrong with the way FF3 looks? I installed addons to revert FF5 to look like FF3. If I want to use a chrome clone, I'd use the original!

Having said that, I find myself switching to chrome when FF5 slows down, but then return to FF when I miss awesomebar or addon, lol!

Go Mozilla!!! Goggle has too much to say in this day and age and offers little... esp. to me. Hate them. They're too intrusive...

The search box is gone, integrated into the AwesomeBar. There is also a new full screen mode, which moves the AwesomeBar inside the tab bar, IE9-style.

Awesome Bar? Really? Who are they targetting? 13 year olds? I don't want to use a product with an Awesome Bar.

Firefox 8

I wish they'd fix the glitches, instead of spending all of their time on "art".

For example (on my PC):

• The Bookmark Indicator Star works erratically.
• Roughly every 4th time I use it, it fails to shutdown and if I don't manually locate/save my session info and I lose my session.
• Having to manually tweak the config settings to get rid of their "improvements" (e.g. protocol hiding).

If it wasn't for NoScript, I'd probably be forced to switch to IE9.
The trouble is, it annoys me every time I use it.

The tab shapes are a bad idea, and remind me of one reason that I stick to FF rather than Chrome: with 20+ tabs open, I can at least partially read the labels in FF but not in Chrome because Chrome wastes space with the inefficient tab shapes.

Right. Try to scroll down some online newspapers with JavaScript on.
It's jerky. I usually have it turned off and only turn it on if it's really necessary.
Seems to be safer (?) also.

Very minimalistic, clean.

I believe that it does make Internet surfing safer.

It is supposed to stop XSS attacks.
It should also reduce the chances of js malware installation (unless you happen to authorise the malware routine).

Since I swapped from IE6 to Firefox and NoScript (about 5 or 6 years ago) I rarely see malware in my AVG Virus Vault.
