A lot of work is under way in designing the user interface for the next two releases of Firefox - 3.7 and 4.0 - and both of the currently proposed themes (Windows-specific) look interesting. These interface refreshes were needed as well, as the current Firefox interface is showing its age. Looking at the mockup for Firefox 4.0, it all becomes clear: This is Firefox - Chromified.

I remember reading somewhere that windows firefox under wine is faster then linux native firefox.
I've actually read and heard that myself too. Haven't tested it myself, but I wouldn't actually be surprised. The speed difference really is painstakingly clear and visible to anyone who uses both OSes. But do we got any FF devs here lurking around? Would be lovely to get atleast some explanation as to why it is like that? X? Some external library? Kernel issue? Or is it FireFox itself?
