We've already talked about the proposed interface changes for Firefox 3.7 (and 4.0) which are coming to the Windows platform. However, those were anything-goes sketches, and now it seems as if the team has more or less settled on what Firefox 3.7 will look like on Windows. I'll reserve final judgement until I have used it, but my first thought was: who littered all these different widgets all over the place?

"Firefox feels dated and behind on Windows. Especially Vista and Windows 7,"
This is what happens when you let subjective judgments from a couple people drive your UI. Here's what he really meant: "IE8 looks different, and even though it's a godawful mess we want to copy IE as closely as possible so that people can switch more easily".
Good thing there's Chrome. Now I just have to port my firefox extensions over to Chrome and Firefox can be relegated to the bin, just like Netscape, Konqueror, Opera, and all the other browsers that have fallen by the wayside.
