To me, if you want Fx 2 years from now: use Opera.
It's like luxury Mercedes cars vs all the other cars.

:P

Hmm...the theme kinda looks pretty slick just from looking through those screenshots. I'll have to check it out :)

Missing an arrow button. That looks stupid. Why do they keep removing stuff?

(but it needs some work, at least under Linux).
Of course,never fails.Linux version always needs help.

Still no tabs in the title bar for Linux because of limitations of Gtk. If they can't do it, then why is there an extension that does it just fine?

Ok, I feel like I have to defend Opera.

One of the most innovative things Opera thought of were tabs, dashboard, and remaining zoomlevel from one to the next opened tab. Yes, ALL of those came from Opera.
Then, Fx understood that, so it started using tabs too.
Where Fx went wrong [for many many years] is that when one opens a page from one tab to the other [like opening a link to a new window, as Fx/IE used to do], the zoom level went back to 100%, no matter what. Did my eyesight just got better?

There are loads of examples like that.

Opera might not be open source, but they are always years ahead of the rest.

that looks pretty cool, but at the same time, it looks a little too much like Google Chrome.

Might have to switch back to Firefox, then. ;)
