Title: Mozilla firms up Firefox 4 plans
Post by: Simon on May 11, 2010, 21:53
Mozilla has given a breakdown of its plans for Firefox 4, including a pledge to make it "super-duper fast".

Perhaps the most striking change to Firefox 4 is the user interface, which takes a great deal of inspiration from Google Chrome. Though Mozilla was keen to note that the mockups shown in the presentation were subject to change, it's clear Firefox 4 will benefit from the design choices made by Google's pared-back browser.

"Something UI designers have known for a long time is that the simpler an interface looks, the faster it will seem," said director of Firefox Mike Beltzner during the presentation.

in google chrome each tab is a separate thread therefore its darn fast. For firefox todo this would mean a massive rewrite.

It does seem speculative at the moment, so I guess it could all change before release.
