So what you think of it, personally I believe that there taken Google Chrome very seriously. I think it looks pretty cool but we'll have to wait and see. This will be the default settings used but I believe you can switch back to the normal interface too.

Well, it looks that Firefox 3.7 is set to take advantage of Windows Aero fully.

Changes for Windows
  • Embracing Glass: Toolbar and Tabs using Glass. Buttons translucent and slightly glossy to meld with the toolbar. Raised 3D look to achieve tactile "feel".
  • Page and Tools Buttons: Page and Tools on the Navigation Bar.
  • Bookmark Bar: Bookmarks bar on by default. New Bookmarks "widget" containing the bookmarks menu contents.
  • Home Tab: Home tab containing your homepage to start. Expanded functionality planned for 4.0.
Changes for Linux
  • Consistent Back/Forward Buttons: Use the same back/forward shape as on the other platforms. The back button would use the same texture as the other buttons however it would be round and larger.
  • Buttons vs Icons: Switching to a button+glyph style for the toolbar items. This would be instead of the more representational style that is widely used. It also is a deviation from the common system standard of having icons and then a button shape on hover.
  • Curvier Tab Shape: Match the tabs to the proposed tabs on Windows and Mac while keeping the native texture and color.
  • Removing Toolbar Separators: Reduces visual complexity as well as maintaining external consistency.

Does it treat tabs as separate applications like chrome?

You can probably choose, at least that's what I would expect. I think it looks great and I hope they don't fuck something up big time.

I really have no idea, It's not even got an alpha release so I can't tell. If there using their heads than I assume that they will have separate processes.

lol one of the reasons I didn't like Chrome was because of the tabs being moved. But it looks pretty cool here so I will probably download it when the finished version is out.

Added mockups of Firefox 3.7 which we should have around about new years according to the roadmap it brings some UI changes but nothing to over-the-top.
