Mozilla Shows off Firefox Tablet UI

[A Guy]

Mozilla is currently working on the tablet version of Firefox, and Ian Barlow, user interface designer at Mozilla, has just shown off the user interface for this tablet version. I can assure you - this might just be the first tablet browser interface actually designed for, you know, tablets.

Too bad that Mozilla Firefox for Android "Still" does not run flash....this browser is dog meat if they don't get flash functional for the tablet version. Currently the Android version is FF4 and no flash....all other android browsers are flash enabled.

Even though I am a hard core Firefox user I will be using something else unless FF gets its Android act together.

I really don't like tablets. I don't like touch screen. It gets all nasty dirty and scratched up. My laptop can go anywhere a tablet can go with more functionality.

Simple solution to dirty and Fingerprints....screen cleaner and RainX. Scratches don't happen on Gorilla glass unless it is intentional and most tablets have glass screens. If you are scratching the glass I would suggest screen protectors. Tablets are just laptops without the keyboard....use a blue tooth or usb keyboard built into a cover for large data entry tasks but ...... that is not what tablets are for.....content consumption is where tablets shine and despite all the opinions to the contrary, watching video's or web surfing on a phone is a pain.

That said....tablets are a personal choice just like anything else....I personally don't like laptops all that much when a good desktop does it all and better. Laptops are for traveling and I don't need to do heavy lifting on the road. Again, just my opinion and personal choice.

I personally like to have clean hands and fingers.

When I get a carry around computer their is a few things I must have.
1. Windows operating system
2. As big as I can get without weighing more than a case of bottled beer.
3. I don't want to poke at the screen to make it work.
4. A keyboard normal people can type on without the number pad and all the
other little ding dong keys I never use.

I like tablets but don't need full time internet service. The only one that offers part time internet service that I'm aware of is Apple's iPad 2. I'm holding out for a Windows based tablet that does part time.

That looks really nice. Not sure I would mind that interface on an actual PC version.
