Mozilla’s Browser – Firefox – is becoming more popular. Once version 3.5 was released, it rose in the charts and marked a great progress. During this time, Mozilla is already thinking of the next version of Firefox, which will be version 3.7.
There are several ideas for new design of the browser. There are user ideas of Mac and Linux. Here’s what are the planned changes by Mozilla based on various sources:
1. Embracing Glass: The main toolbar and tabs will take effect from the Aero Glass.
2. Page Button: Before tab there will be a button Page.
3. Tools / Bookmark Bar: After the the search engine will be added new button – Tools.You can change the program interface with it. Next to this button will be another who will be responsible for bookmarks.
These are just ideas. It is uncertain whether they will be realized in the new version of the popular browser.
