Mozilla Plans Major Design Overhaul With Firefox 25 Release In October

Posted by Soulskill on from the taking-cues dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla is planning a major design overhaul of its flagship browser with the release of Firefox 25, slated to arrive in October. The company makes a point to discuss its plans for changes openly, and this upcoming new version is by no means an exception. In fact, even though Firefox 22 is in the Beta channel, Firefox 23 is in the Aurora channel, and Firefox 24 is in the Nightly channel, Mozilla has set up a special Nightly UX channel for Firefox 25. Grab it here."

    coincidentally, IE gets confused on the corporate intranet with aliases seemingly all the time, where i have to put the http:/// in there to show I'm not searching for a corporate server on google.

    It is very irresponsible to link to a dev branch of firefox without even including instructions on how to set up a separate profile for it. There is a good chance that it will mangle your profile in ways that will be incompatible with the final release or the current release should you choose to go back.

    If I wanted such Chrome, I would have installed Chrome. Fuck off.

    Sixth: From the article: "In this vein, there is a discussion of removing the Add-on Bar completely, killing user-created custom toolbars, and having the main toolbar feature a dedicated area for add-on buttons and widgets instead."

    Heh. "Discussion". This is what discussion means.
