You can do that on Chrome too. Chrome saves all search engines on all sites you visit. When you go to type the website out, you can press tab halfway through the word of the site and it becomes a search engine on that site.

For example, for youtube, when I want to search for a video on it, all I type is "y" then I press Tab and it says "Search on Youtube:" and you type in whatever you want. You can even configure what letters you want to type for the website you want, but I keep the defualts.

In my honest opinion, Chrome is the best web browsing experience I ever had. Period.

Looks pretty damn cool! Although, I don't like the fact that it is very similar to Chrome when the tabs are at the top. Nevertheless, I love the theme, and I wouldn't change it, ever! :) :)

Personally, I like the tabs at the bottom... having them at the top make it look like a creepy google chrome, heh

I think it time to reduce this to simple interface for non technical, and make other interface available for advanced user, where extra toolbar is available.
I often found advanced bookmark toolbar (ie firefox 3.5) extremely useful and should not be dismissed for the stake of it. Can you foxy guy figure out how to snug it in.

Easy Solution to the tabs above or below. Since each tab is its own url, the tabs above makes more sense as the address will be enclosed within the tab's window for correct visual association between current tab's web page and its address. So how to eliminate the drawbacks is the question. Simple. Collapse the address bar into an active line. If the cursor dwells long enough (user customized), the address bar drops open and sets keyboard focus with current address hilighted. If cursor passes over line fast enough on its way to the tab, the address bar remains inactive and hidden. The line will save screen real estate and almost eliminate extra distance to tabs. When the address bar drops down, if it's transparent, it won't completely obscure what lies beneath at the top of the web page shown. Most web pages have wasted space (i.e., ads) at their top anyway.

It kind of reminds me of IE7/8, which i really am not a fan of. But as long as it supports custom themes/addons, then it doesnt really matter. I can take advantage of the new features, and skin it to my liking. That is what i love about Firefox. A browser should be customizable, and i appreciate that Mozilla suggests new features and UIs, but in the end its all up to the user. Who knows, i may end up liking some of the default features...

Im pretty sure these are fakes. The 2nd screenshot which is showing the "tabs-on-top design" is showing a Google Search for the word "Example" yet the tab at the top shows "Typefaces we can all sh.."

Nice try.. The interface does look good though

It's good that the team is working on UI improvements, but I certainly hope Firefox 4 is a lot faster than Firefox 3. Oh and I hope they get rid of the not-so-awesome bar.

I've been using the Stop-or-Reload addon for a while now. Good, but not anything new.

YAY! I agree whole-heartedly!

All it takes is a bit of research. I hate when I install a new major upgrade, because my themes are never updated. I'm used to a singular look and feel, so I search the themes until I find one most comparable to the look and feel I want.

I do NOT like the tabs on top option. I surely hope they don't do this!

P.S. I'm very unhappy with change!!

Why not keep the tabs at the top and keep the window title.

Also what is with the whole getting rid of menus craze these days. Menus work, now it's trying to cram several menus into two or three drop down buttons.

Absolutely spot on.

Keep the design like this and you will have a LOT of happy users.

Tabs on top all the way. I won't mind going back to Firefox from Chrome if they do this, I like to see more webpage and less browser.

Tabs on top all the way. I want to see more of the webpages and less of the browser; it's one of the reason I switched to Chrome to being with. I love Firefox and wouldn't mind going back, but if they don't do tabs on top, I'm sticking with Chrome. Simple as that.

Looks really sharp. Not sure if I'm the only one anymore but I use FF and Chrome equally, I just use FF for my developer needs / addon variety and Chrome for my general browsing. If Chrome (hell, even IE8) ever gets the library of Addons FF has, I'd be less inclined to use FF as my backbone browser of course.
