    I don't like it. It seems weird to have it. Looks weird IMO.

    I don't like it, but also makes little difference. I don't have any buttons showing at all. The URL bar and tabs are all I need.

    Huh. Keyhole. On my computer at work which runs Windows, I've never seen it..but then I use the small icons.

    I really could care less about it truthfully.

    Naah. I prefer my applications to have as uniform user interfaces as possible considering the purposes they are made for. GTK/Aqua integration is pretty much all I wanted from next Firefox UI.

    Why is it called "Keyhole"? I don't really get that name. Actually, why does it even need a name? They are just (rather ugly) back- and forward buttons.

    I'm guessing it's because if you rotate it 90° to the right it looks like one of those old keyholes.

    That's the keyhole?

    I've added the meh option, and I voted it too. Looks ugly, and outbalanced. I can see the logic that people use the back button more..but..it still looks ugly. I tried Firefox 3 B5 in VirtualBox XP yesterday..ugh.

    I like how it looks in GNOME. I just wish they keep it that way!

    I too love the gtk theme matching as well as all the other amazing firefox 3 features! I was
    just a little bummed that the fresh-looking keyhole wasn't put in the linux build. I guess it
    was just nice to see a change in the generic browser we've grown so accustomed to. It
    really isn't that much of a change in effiency or ease of use in my opinion.

    Re: Firefox 3's Keyhole

    Yet another pointless GUI tweak just to look different. How do you access the backwards and forwards history dropdown, I only see one arrow.

    Why do Windows programs need to have different interfaces all the time?

    Does anyone know of a WebKit browser for Windows?
