What do you think about the new Firefox look?
 

Honestly, the Firefox 29 UI now looks Chrome-like.
I run both side-by-side and I don't understand which one I am using. Is Mozilla so much intimidated by Chrome, that it has forgotten the users that still like it for its traditional look.

Oh no, something looks slightly different now!

Oh... so they're up to version 29 now? How nice. Do we all get an "extra point" when they add a third digit to their version-number? (Should be, ahh, "100 - 29 = 71" days [hours? minutes? nanoseconds??] from now, am I correct?) :rolleyes:

As long as the look is configurable I don't care much. I do, however care that for some crazy reason the automatic update to v28 broke my previously perfectly working Firefox. Now even when I downgrade, it seems to have trouble with youtube videos that are HTML5 compliant and it didn't before. Now it seems to launch multiple versions, sometimes 3 or more, all out of sync. I'm assuming it is something I did, but it surely is odd it all worked fine until immediately after the "upgrade".

... which is exactly why I turned off "automatic updates" beginning, I think, with version 12. . .

Considering that Google is the #1 donator to Mozilla, I'm not surprised.

I don't like it tho. If I wanted Chrome I would install it. Now I have to choose between Chrome and Chrome remake ... I mean Firefox. I've been using Firefox for a long time and will not switch to Chrome for numerous reasons.

As for Firefox breaking with every update ... it become less of a problem if you run ESR. Then it breaks every 7 regular versions i.e. 7 times less often, which is great IMO.

Since I never use the standard look anyways (due to having most all the functionality I need being available from Pentadactyl) I couldn't care less if something changes.

Fact is, I didn't even realize the auto updater worked until this time. I have always just unpacked the tarball put them in /usr/lib/firefox-version and symlinked. This time I clicked the updater with a smirk on my face and found the laugh was on me LOL. I won't ever do that again. EVER!

Seemed to be faster running flash on web sites. I never really care too much about looks, just how it performs.

I don't mind the new interface, really. What I do mind is that Mozilla seems to be trying to play "catch-up" with Google constantly these days, instead of being the innovator and market leader they should be. Firefox will remain my GUI browser of choice, nonetheless.

Nothing to think about - Fx is no more just like Opera stopped.

It looks similar to chrome but its nice.

Due to my Flash vs/ HTML 5 problems after my one and only auto-update I've been trying different versions and last night I installed (manually!) Firefox-29.0b2, the latest on the ftp site. Maybe it's the degree of my personalization but the only difference I see is in a few icons on the toolbars and the shape of tabs... not that big of a deal.

+1.

At workplace, my Firefox is set to auto-update on Windows. Maybe they have not changed the Linux version.
