Firefox 4 - Mozilla posts sneak peeks
By Benny Har-Even in Editorial

It’s been less than a month since Mozilla released Firefox 3.5 and now it’s been and gone and done released some screenshots of what it thinks Firefox 4.0 might look like.
Just so we’re clear - it has the caveat in large letters at the top of the page that they are “NOT FINAL! THEY ARE ONLY FOR BRAINSTORMING/EXPLORATION!”
With Aero enabled, its has to be said that the design looks quite a bit like Google Chrome, which as we all know, in Chrome OS form, will shortly be taking over the world near you.
The raised buttons on the left are pure Chrome, as it the tool options to the right of the search bar. The tabs are separated out a little and without tool bars, it does look cleaner and more modern.
Is that a tab on the left for showing a thumbnails of favourite sites - a la, Chrome and Safari?
So far Mozilla hasn’t gone the whole hog and combined the address bar and the search bar, a la Chrome, and the tabs are still below rather than above the address bar.
Regardless of design, I feel the most important thing Mozilla can do it to ensure that like Chrome, it puts each tab into a separate process, so when one crashes, it doesn’t take the whole browser with it.
Generally though, I like what I see.
Any other thoughts on the look of Firefox 4 so far?

I’m a long time Firefox user, but have recently switched to Chrome. The way they set up their quick link icons, when you first open the browser, is saving me loads of time. It’s not as reliable or as extendible as Firefox, but it’s amazing the difference a simple design idea can have.
