New Firefox Browser now in Beta

Firefox has a new UI, 'Australis' for the upcoming Firefox browser.  After more than three years, Mozilla has rolled out its first significant Firefox user interface update. The Nightly channel version of Firefox, with the Australis revamp, is automatically updated each night so users have the most up to date version.

The Firefox team says that Nightly still needs some polish; even the page users visit to download the new browser prominently says “These builds are for testing purposes only.” Nevertheless, Australis, which was designed with simplicity in mind, sports changes that, while subtle, distinguish it from previous Firefox iterations.  Sure looks like Google Chrome to me....
