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?

Looking at the screenshot comparison between Chrome and Firefox, I guess I just don't see the massive difference that Thom does. What I can spot:
1. The address bar is combined in chrome, split in 2 on firefox. OK, that's probably a little simpler. I think I still like it seperated, but could probably get used to Chrome's version.
2. Firefox has the address bar/buttons row, then the bookmarks bar, then the tabs. Chrome has the tabs on top, then the address bar/buttons row, then the bookmarks bar. Contents are almost the same between all 3. Firefox does have a little more empty space at the top and the window title. I prefer that, with Chrome you have to worry about clicking on a tab when you try to move the window around.
So, big mess? I'm just not seeing it here. Is this basically an "I love Chrome" rant by Thom, or do others here agree with him?
