best things for firefox is the biggest PlugIns & Addons Database
I detest anything akin to mac/apple(with the exception of some ipods) and i feel as if firefox is going to lose a lot of its fan base with this new update. sure the ubiquity looks really nice but i don't want it. I want Mozzilla Firefox. I want TABBED browsing. When i first was introduced to the "tab" the quality of my life went up tenfold. If Mozzilla really goes through with this redesign, idk... i may as well buy a mac?
^^^Or not use Firefox. Use an alternative browser like Chrome or Opera.

I like the current FF tab setup, but agree it's time to redo the browser if nothing else but to just bring back it's old speedy performance.
As FF has grown and evolved it's now become somewhat of a memory hog and takes a long time to load and respond even with multi-core CPU's. The more fancy it gets and more eye candy they add on, the more memory and CPU cycles it will gobble up. I've noticed on older computers- IE is somewhat faster than FF 3.6 .... and that's a shame!
As a matter of fact, I'm currently running FF and IE both on the same web page both browsers with only one tab open- FF is using 124MB ram, IE is using 46MB ram.

it is really the best browser i used
Not a fan of that stuff honestly, but I think that if worst comes to worst, there will be extensions to make work like the old firefox, or you could just go to filehippo and grab an old version.
Firefox's look is attractive and sleek, it does not need to look Apple-ish in the future. I like Firefox as it is and I always have liked it.
