Get a sneak peak of UX improvements to Firefox
19 September, 2011 § 17 Comments
As many people already know, at Mozilla we do our work in the open. Many people may also be aware of our Release, Beta, Aurora, and Nightly channels. One lesser known fact is that we have a special Nightly build that showcases some ideas that we have for improving the Firefox user experience.
Started in mid-May of this year, a special Nightly-UX branch was created as a place for the community to test out ideas and see how well they work over time. Over the weekend I was very happy to find that there are now about 2,000 active daily users on the Nightly-UX branch.
The biggest single proponent of this large user base is most likely the mockups from the UX Presentation on the Future of Firefox. Feel free to download the Nightly-UX today 🙂
That is so great I just trying to test it on my Ubuntu 11.10! Gotta find a way to install it.
You can download it from one of these two links:
