Firefox is finally set to receive its new HomeTab on June 5. It is the first major new UI change since the release of Firefox 4 in early 2011.

This may just be the deciding factor for me between Chrome and Firefox.

I love both of them but I can't stand Google tracking every website I visit.

Oh hey, more UI changes.

Just use some extension that blocks it!
I used FireFox till Chrome was released, no reason to get back yet =)

Wow! Amazing! Firefox adds some more features that have been in Opera since version 9 (3+ years ago)... besides stealing the Opera 10 (2 years ago) UI design.

fox = the copycat browser.

I, for one, will continue to use about:blank as my home page...

Chrome + Security - Tracking = SRWare Iron

Wtf... I do not want that garbage. They better give me an option to keep my current UI because its perfect the way it is. This UI looks disgusting as hell too chrome alike *vomits*

Looks far too cluttered.

Make the Firefox logo half that size and move it up. Get rid of the Top Apps or make it something that expands when you click it. Move the Top sites to the Top Apps section, move the Recent up. Use the bottom right space for chat windows with tabs.

Fixed.

What crashes? Firefox has been pretty smooth sailing ever since the breakout of the plugin process. Anecdotal evidence but my desktop runs 24/7 and Firefox is always open...most I ever get is a Flash plugin crash which doesn't crash the browser.

Wow! Looks awesome! Will definitely start using FF more! Good come back Mozilla!

FF is garbage, better use chrome .

 

[patchrowcester]

Still can't use private browsing and regular browsing at the same time. No multiple sessions.

How about fixing that??

 

[jtennison]

I hope there is an option to turn it off. I like my "home tab" just the way I made it!

Firefox is a good browser. I think the updates should have been less intrusive and they wouldn't have lost so many users, it's better now and I think the change will be good. I hope they give us a better option for downloads - why a separate little floating window?

P.S Opera Rules

I find that Firefox rarely crashes and I use around a dozen add-ons. I would recommend that you take a look at your add-ons list. I'm very reluctant to install anything new that I've not fully looked into first.
