Please leave the toolbar dividers or at least leave them as an option
Personally I prefer the tabs at the bottom not the top of the page I mean by the status bar
something like this:

I am using XP this second firfox 3.6
on Ubuntu 9.04 i am using a addon I made (a over-sized stylish theme in addon format) in combination with a theme (strata for linux) with a little more css to have a close button on each tab at all times

Why, oh WHY do hypes exist? This mockup of Fx4 looks just like chrome. I honestly don’t know what’s so good about tabs on top, I honestly ‘dis’like it a lot.

I’m really digging the visual design of these mock-ups. I hope to see these in the future…

I’m also with Brett, though, I’m sure they’re planning on working on that too. I want Firefox to start up _alot_ faster. Honestly, I don’t see why it takes so long to start up like it is. My laptop has a solid state drive _and_ the profile directory is a tmpfs (RAM filesystem). My desktop has a standard 300~GB hard drive, less and slower RAM, and a significantly slower hard drive. My laptop has Firefox and my desktop has Chrome. Guess who starts up faster even with the _significant_ disadvantages? That’s right, my desktop is faster.

I wonder how will it get the info on how is the titlebar designed, considering the enormous ammounts of window border decorator engines of GNU/Linux. Or will they just write one for metacity/mutter and kwin, case closed? Or will they even bother? They might just make the default to match some random theme they like, and the user must change the theme to his liking, if it does not match with the default?

Cause when I think browsers the most important thing isn’t how accurately or fast it renders a page… Its how curvy are the tabs and is that button going to be big enough for me to click on!

I’d like to see it load faster, render faster, and run more efficiently on slower hardware while still looking like a professional browser.
