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?

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.
All browsers come and go. So you might as well wait till chrome is forgotten to the next browser of the year.
Jesus, it's just a browser. Why the hell people need to make it so complex. All you need is a URL bar, the normal buttons and tabs. No need to shuffle things to different positions every release.
And BTW, I still love Konqueror and Opera, so I don't really have to worry too much about UI. I wish Konqueror-webkit was included with KDE4.

"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".
