Another New Firefox Design? I Dislike

In recent readings around the internet, I discovered that Mozilla are planning another interface refresh for Firefox (3.7 I think). I know it’s just a prototype at the moment, but I have to say I really don’t like it. It looks an awful lot like IE8 to me, and I *hate* IE8. It’s also very much reminiscent of Google Chrome – I like Firefox how it is now, what’s with the need to change it?

Maybe it is just for Vista and 7; and maybe it’s supposed to fit into the OS more, but I like how it works now. Bit more transparency, cool, but don’t change the stuff like the buttons, which work perfectly already.

Firefox 3 Breaks a Million Downloads

Less than four hours into it’s download day, Firefox 3 smashed the 1 million downloads barrier, which is reported to be more than the downloads of Firefox 2 on it’s launch day.

There is a widescreen up in the Mozilla HQ which is live (ish) monitoring the downloads, although it seems that with the sheer rate of downloads, there has been some lag.

I downloaded FF3 about an hour ago, and in my opinion, it’s not changed a huge amount from the last release candidate, not that it’s meant to have. It’s still great, though.

The great thing is, the developers of S3fox have upgraded it to work with Firefox 3! yay.

Download Day in One Hour

Mozilla officially release Firefox 3 stable in one hour, and 2 minutes. From then, they have 24 hours to get lots of downloads, their planning to set a world record.

Good luck to them

Mozilla are trying to break (or make, I can never remember which) a world record for the greatest number of software downloads in a day. Pledge to Download.
