See preview of new - look Firefox

[Scottonpc]

Mozilla has released preview images of how its Firefox browser will soon look. The screenshots show the browser's new Activity Stream, which positions History, Bookmarks, Downloads and Tabs under one heading. https://mozilla.invisionapp.com/share/GA5RW90CW#/screens

So basically we're yanking idea implementations from Vivaldi and slapping it onto a Chrome-esque design.

That new sharing option looks really good.

64bit Firefox Developer Edition master race.

 

 

In all seriousness though, it doesn't look too bad. I do like Vivaldi, but the lack of add-ons I <need> disturbs me as much as the lack of apps in Windows Mobile. If they can implement some of Vivaldi's nice features while keeping the add-ons compatible, the more power for them.

 

I never understood why people dislike when companies implement ideas from rivals in their own product... If it makes the product that more feature rich, why the hell not do it?

It looks interesting, but it relies on sites providing the information in a format that it can use, and I don't really see why it has to be a browser feature and not just a website that anyone could use in any browser.

Seems interesting.  For those that catch up on news sites and such, this will be a welcome feature.  This will be useless to people like me, where their activity resides in a few domains (forums, Reddit, YouTube, etc.), where this feature won't work well.  Is there anything else that comes with this new UI?

I don't really have a problem with using a better design that has been implemented before, and so far I think that what they are showing right now looks pretty good. I don't think the title of this post is very true to the change Mozilla is considering, this is a usability change, not really an aesthetic change. I am really in the middle on how much I personally like this feature, as long as you can toggle it and go back to something like what we have right now. I think that choice is one of Mozilla's strong points anyway so I'm not too worried.
