It looks like Mozilla has been playing mind games with Microsoft, and targeting the Internet Explorer 8 browser. Just a few days after Mozilla gave us a sneak preview of the 3.7 version of Firefox, they have been making "mockups" available of Firefox 4.0 to the public.
The open source browser maker has added colour over Firefox 4.0's location bar. It will turn green when a user starts typing, will blend with the bar when at rest, flashes blue on hover and transforms into red when a page is loading.
This all to attract more users to use Firefox as their default browser, and to get users to switch from IE to Firefox without seeing to much of a difference. The key point they are trying to raise is that Firefox is the most flexibile and customisable browser available today!
One of the standout changes that Firefox is looking at, is the location of the search bar at the top. It looks like the search bar will be similiar to the IE8 and Google Chrome designs, where the tabs will be either above the search bar, or below. This will give it a more sleak look.
It really looks like Firefox is going beyond their usual designs, and really trying to make Firefox the browser to have. You bet it’s going to get more great features, as it’s going to be some time until we can browse the web with this lbrowser!
If you are already a Firefox fan, and would like to have a sneak peek of Firefox in 2010, you can visit the following link.
