Are they going to do something about the big red "close-button" on tabs? It's ugly as h*ll and looks really out of place.

Not only the curved tabs , but also the settings button is taken blindly from Chrome. I mean the only element after tabs on top which distinguished us from chrome was this Firefox Menu Button which IMO came coz of the Windows7 apps/Office App/Ribbon UI(Major in Win8) look , and now its going away for idk which reason...

I think there is some conspiracy going on in the Mozilla HQ , they are planning to doom Mozilla Firefox if not Earth in 2012.

actually it looks WAY better then Chrome

Big red close button? If you mean, the button that appears when you hover over the 'x',it's supposed to be like that. It's a close action, after all. It can't not be red, and it has to be noticeable.

Definitely will have to find a userstyle to have that Bookmarks Star changed to a blueish color that matches the other navigation buttons. Don't like that yellow star.

I have to admit Australis userstyle is really growing on me. I didn't like it at first, but now it's really coming around and think it looks great now on the mockups. How well this turns out on the actual browser is a different story though.

The star icon has always been yellow. From stars on the sky to children drawing. Changing the color of a familiar symbol/icon will only confuse people.

While I agree, I just don't like it. I like it to blend in more kinda like how the Bookmark button is now. I'll just change via userstyles.

I'm trying to add a search keyword for YouTube, so I set the keyword to 'y'. Whenever I type 'y *video name*' it searches yahoo instead, even though I never use Yahoo. Does anyone know how to fix it so that y = youtube?

Ctrl+Shift+B > Bookmarks Menu , see if yahoo and youtube have same keyword

Or remove yahoo from your history

It's blue on OS X.

Definitely don't have any entries in history or bookmarks for Yahoo, I even double-checked.

Certainly Mac is out of this world

when u just type y , what does it show in the dropdown list? "Search Youtube" ?

I've renamed it but, yes, it shows 'search YouTube' as the very first entry.

In the search box dropdown list, go to "manage search engines" and then change the keywords set to each of them. If you are like me and don't even use Yahoo, then just select it and click "remove." Should solve the problem.

Also, for this reason, I always use two letter keywords to avoid conflicts. Always felt more natural to type two keys, [space], and then search term as opposed to just one key.

Anyone else having a problem with emails in Gmail? I can't see the text/content in the actual email body.

No issues here on the latest nightly. Try troubleshooting your addons. Chances are one of them might be interfering.

Are the animated tabs like moving tabs ever coming back? Feels so outdated having to use the "arrow" move still on Firefox. Haven't seen anything about this in awhile and lost the bug tracker.

Thanks!

Disabled all my addons, cleared cache/cookies/history and I still have the same problem :/

Works fine in Chrome.

Yahoo and everything else, except Google, was already removed.

UX Builds now have the new Download Manager http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/ux-win32/

If problem still exists, try a new clean profile

It's still being worked on and the bug has had activity somewhat recently. No idea how soon it'll be here, though. Here's the bug if you want to track it.

Seems like the entries in the list take up too much vertical space based on the video, IMO. I'll have to update my UX installation to give a more informed opinion, though.

Download Statusbar is much better than the new video downloader. You can see all your current DL at a glance and you don't have to click 2 times to open a downloaded file.

WTF are doing the guys at Mozilla? There have really no clue about what they are doing or what?

Sir please, its not the final version , if you have suggestions , post somewhere where you would be heard by "developers" (Bugzilla).

Yeah , i think they will solve it later, themeing can be done later (considering Australis mockups for Download manager "panel" being very different) , right now they want to Implement it first...
