Firefox 3.7, 4.0

I don't think 3.7 looks too bad with the other themes, but it definitely looks the best with Glass. ^^

As for 4.0, I agree. It is very Chrome-like. :P

Ooh. Shiny things. :o

3.7 looks nice, but I don't care for 4, it's too Chrome-like, like Audy said. :(

It's terrible, but as long as they leave the old themes in, I guess won't mind. It's the lack of a menu bar that bothers me the most; if they don't let me revert to that, I'll end up switching browsers. Mozilla's looking to make the classic mistake: don't change it if it works. For me, at least, Microsoft made the same mistake with Office 2007; they got rid of the menu bar and made it into some horrible, annoying mess. Mozilla's doing exactly the same thing. Instead of having a bunch of options readily available in one place, they're either spread all over the screen or put somewhere where you'd have no idea to look for them. This is bad design at its worst.

I personally prefer 3.7's design to 4.0's design at the moment.

in the 3.7 the controls area on the left is strangely reminiscent of Safari 4's windows interface.

Yeah, I need a bookmarks toolbar with all my pretty favicons. If there isn't one I don't know what I'll do ;o; (they say you can turn off the widget so that's cool).

But yeah, I'm liking tabs on top and version B overall of 4.0. I've already hidden my menubar so the absence of one in the mockups doesn't really bother me, plus they could easily add the option of including one if the users ask for it. Their placement of the progress line is interesting.

Yeah, Chrome and IE are pretty similar as well in that respect.

Well, I think they'll copy things from others to create a perfect one.

Ew. I am perfectly fine with my 3.5 and I hope changes are made. But the buttons are very sexy you have to admit.

The Firefox 3.7 mock-ups look good. The Vista/Windows 7 version is gorgeous while the XP version is nice looking.

You heard it here first, people! According to twocows law; NEVER INNOVATE.
Seriously. We all ought to be using Windows 3.1 because "it works".

I'm more interested in seeing what the Mac interface looks like, tbh~

lol, I honestly think it will fit well with the OSX interface, given they continue to go down this path.

I'm running a theme that's a great imitation of the 3.7 theme on Win7. I've got to say, I love it.

Here's a screeny of my theme: http://i30.tinypic.com/155m340.png

Not really. The "law," as you call it (which isn't mine, it's something I've heard in many places), has always seemed to apply more to design aspects. The first time I remember hearing it was when Wind Waker came out; somebody said it about the change from realistic style to cel-shaded. Perhaps it would be more prudent to say "if it doesn't work, don't get rid of it?"

3.7 doesn't look too bad, but 4.0 is definitely a ripoff of Chrome. :S

I always download the latest firefox, and right now I'm using 3.5. Whenever the REAL 3.7 or 4.0 come out, I'll download them. ;P

I believe the Chrome layout is better because it is more logical, the address bar and the refresh button are about what is inside the tab.
