Firefox 3.7 to Improve UI and Visual Effects

Long before the release of Firefox 3.5, developers at Mozilla were already working on v3.6, v3.7 and even 4.

In the next 2 updates of Firefox (3.6 and 3.7) we are going to see several interface improvements, being the most impressive the addition of Vista/W7 Aero effects. Check the screenshot below for a sneak peek:

As you can see not only the Aero effects have been activated. XP and non-Aero users are going to see improvements too, since this version also features several changes in the buttons positioning, menus and tabs navigation.

Visit the Firefox UI discussion page to see the UI changes as it progresses.

There is also some interesting progress, although still experimental, being worked on Firefox 4. It seems the designers are trying to implement a Chrome-like tabset. Take a look at the mockups, but keep in mind, these are mockups! and not the definitive look of Firefox 4.
