Some other features of the Firefox UI that add svelteness and sleekness are a Forward button that only appears when you've gone back (this is an older feature), a download button that doubles as a progress indicator, and some reevaluation of which buttons are exposed by default to new Firefox users. Customizing the UI with Firefox's new Australis theme is rather fun Australis also introduces a brand new way of customizing the layout of Firefox - if you hit Customize in the new menu, a new tab opens that lets you rearrange every UI element to your heart's content (pictured below). The most significant changes over the current desktop version of Firefox are: Lots of rounded corners, inactive tabs that "fade" into the background, less padding above tabs, and a massively re-worked main menu button (which shares the same icon as Chrome).
Australis will debut in Firefox 28, which just hit the Nightly (alpha testing) channel if everything goes to plan, the new-look Firefox should be ready for mass consumption at the start of 2014.Īs you can see in the screenshots above and below - or if you download a Nightly build for Windows, OS X, or Linux (Opens in a new window) - Firefox's new Australis theme is very curvy.
Dubbed Australis, this is the biggest ever change to Firefox's user interface, with much improved streamlining and customization, and the unification of Mozilla's design language across the desktop, smartphone, and Firefox's myriad other form factors. At long last, Mozilla has rolled out a massive UI update to Firefox that makes it look almost exactly like Chrome.
