Firefox 5 To Integrate Tab Web Apps

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-prefer-diet-tab dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We are hearing that Firefox 4 is now scheduled for a late March release and that the company has some issues fixing the right bugs as more non-blocking than blocking bugs are patched. However, on a positive note, the UI design team has posted some intriguing mockups of partial Firefox 5 interfaces. The big change will be the creation of a site-specific browser, which turns websites into tab apps within Firefox 5. This is the first time we are seeing Mozilla's ideas on how to deal with the app-ification of the Internet and a strategy to keep the web browser relevant."

    "Innovation" is not a synonym for "gimmick".

    > ...this feature...

    "Feature", unfortunately, is.

    Please, stop adding features to the browser what makes it more and more like a OS
