Australis is landing in Firefox Nightly

But there is a reason why Chrome looks like Chrome. Ironically, it's the lack of Chrome - the UI is unobtrusive and gets out of the way. I see the new Firefox UI in the same way.

I don't understand how curved tabs are supposed to get "out of the way". The new design seems to use less standard UI elements to push it's own (WinXP / Fisher-Price) agenda: I don't see any gains here and I reckon they just want to appeal to the chrome crowd.

And I can't fathom why you'd focus in on curved tabs in this UI redesign. It's one of the smallest details.

The removal of most UI customization.

I really wish browsers were like emacs and that one could replace the whole UI on a dull rainy day.

Try removing the button on the top left. The one with the three horizontal bars.
