The only problem with downloading this, is that it will not update as do the regular firefox channels such as Nightly and Nightly-ux.

Aren't these tabs in the UX builds these days anyway?

They have pretty much given up on animated tabs, haven't they? I haven't heard of any progress being made. At this point, I think it might make it into Firefox 64 if we're lucky. Not 64 bit, but version 64. lol

The tabs already have SOME animation. Which is good enough.

One of the Mozilla developers is now offering a (Windows-only) test build of Firefox with the Australis tabs. Doesn't look half bad imho. Screenshot:

Download: here

Works nice for a nightly :)

Looks too much like Chrome.

Yeah every image bogas posts appears to me as a "posted image" link and clicking it pops an image window loading the image endlessly(never).Would be nice to upload them somewhere else so i can see them too :)

For those missing images, if you check the source code, you can use that URL. Using them directly seems to work :)

Yes, it has curved tabs. A different type of curved tab, mind you. Can we move on now?

If you cannot hanndle that the entire world is copying Google then by all means move on, I do not use it and never will.

Adobe Flash has been updated: https://www.neowin.net/news/adobe-flash-player-113300262 but I can't find anything online if it resolves issues with Firefox. I'm on 11.2 atm.

Old Release notes are old btw (already checked) ;)

Using newer Flash, it resolved one of my issue with embedded Youtube video not streaming. Lets hope it fixes other too.

I get "an error occurred" with Youtube videos, I'll just disable protected mode and see if that helps.

[Steven P. Administrators]

Yep had to disable Protected Mode..

No such issue for me with Protected Mode ON..

Whenever you see "Posted Image" , just drag it to a new tab

[Kirkburn]

Thanks for the Flash update note :)

Ooh, yeah that works :)

I think you misunderstood me. I do not care that it has similarities to Chrome. I care that it looks good, and works; it manages these. My request was that could we kindly stop bringing the topic up. Nothing new is being said apart from unconstructive complaining that 'it looks like Chrome'.

[kilara1988]

100% agree with Kirkburn.Im sick and tired of posts like "looks like xxxx", "they copied it from xxxxx", "xxx had it first".I don't give a " "(insert bad word here) who invented it or who copied who.All i care is does it work ok HERE and is it usefull to me.

My thoughts exactly!

If something just works and has some basic clean design then for me that's the key

[mancode20]

Is Firefox 14 or 15 more responsive? I hate how sometimes it locks up and says not responding. That needs to be fixed a.s.a.p!! If they can fix that and finally add animated tabs like Chrome, it'll be near perfect in my opinion.

Still doesn't justify the fact that it looks like Chrome. I've said many many time, fire the UX team, let the developers at DeviantArt do the work...for free!
