Get a sneak preview at the new Australis tabs (Windows only)
18 June, 2012 § 87 Comments
Wanna play with a sneak peek of the new Australis tabs for Firefox? I’ve put together a build of it that you can download and run with.
| Installer (16 mb) |
| Zip archive (21 mb) |
This isn’t checked in yet, but it should be coming along soon. I only implemented it for Windows, so my apologies go out to those on OS X or Linux.
Let me know what you think in the comments
I can’t use it on windows xp…….

It looks ugly on xp….
Please rectify it.
They seriously look amazing! Keep on that work!
I’m running linux so can’t comment first hand, but from the screen shots I’ve seen I can tell you I like them. I don’t agree that they are too curved, or that they distract from the text in the tab.
I’m very disappointed. There are many many reasons I choose Firefox over i.e Chrome, and one is that I really don’t like Chromes design. PLEASE, for the love of what ever you hold dear, do NOT implement this design. Add it as a “Default 2″-theme, or release it as an addon. But no, do not make it standard. I’ll /have/ to stay on a prior release, and there you have the Firefox 3 vs Firefox 4 conflict all over again.
Looks like it doesn’t really belong on windows… but maybe mac?
Linux, not sure, I haven’t used Linux much.
I <3 it !!!
Certainly like it. You guys rock. Firefox is the best.
I want multirow tabs, less slanted curve.
inactive tab’s title/favicon is hard to read if dark background…
I think it’s awesome! But also, return opera-like tab moving animation and progress bar line in the inactive loading tab! Please!
