Mozilla plans major Firefox interface overhaul

JRViejo · Nov 5, 2009

Mozilla plans to overhaul the look and feel of Firefox for Windows, a redesign that will resemble Google's Chrome in several key elements, according to screenshots and discussions on the open-source developer's Web site.

The visual refresh for Windows Vista and Windows 7 will likely take place in two stages. Part of the redesign will land in Firefox 3.7, a minor update now slated to ship in the first half of 2010, while the remaining pieces will wait for Firefox 4.0, a major revision tentatively set for release late next year.

That is just sloppy journalism by Gregg Keizer: If somebody posts something on the Mozilla wiki, it obviously doesn't mean that he is speaking for and on behalf of the organisation. None of this is new by the way, it has been discussed here before.
