Firefox 3.5 was released several weeks ago adding lots of new features(and bugs) to it. It hasn’t been a month after the 3.5 release and Mozilla is already getting ready for Firefox 3.5’s successor, Firefox 3.7. The first mockup images of version 3.7 was added to the Mozilla wiki 1 day ago and these images show a totally revamped user interface as several features. Now as these are images of the initial stages so we cannot be sure what will end up in the final version. Good news is that Mozilla will be gathering user feedback on the design as they used to do with their earlier versions.
Here are some screenshots of the mockup 3.7, and descriptions of the features stated in the wiki
- Embracing Glass: Toolbar and Tabs using Glass. Buttons translucent and slightly glossy to meld with the toolbar. Raised 3D lookachieve tactile “feel”.
- Page Button: Connect the Page button to the left side of the tab area. Directly connected to the Page.
- Tools/Bookmark Bar: Connecting the Tools button to the side of the Window to emphasize the fact that it is used for customizing and changing the UI. Adding a button next to that to toggle the Bookmarks Bar which is turned off by default.
