Australis - Begins now the big death of Adons and Third Party Themes?
Following the Nightly and Aurora Series with Big Interest. And after checking out now the Nightly UX with the more advanced parts of Australis seen in Preview...
Will there afterwards still be Themes and Adons available? I know that Mozilla plans to simplify the Browser since "Every Day's Computer Users could feel overloaded" - But is that really necessary that you break lot of Adons and most of the Complete 3rd Party Themes?
Not one single 3d Party Theme i tried with UX does work anymore, no problem with Aurora Alphas and normal Nightly.
You really should perhaps also think about the more advanced Users, because taking that beloved features away from us, to make Firefox more Google Chrome simple similiar - does not only good things!
So please, do not plan to remove Adons and Theme Support!

John,
UX / Australis changed as of 03-28 and this is what it looks like on WinXP. Poor in comparison to Win7, IMO.

There is a user discussion of recent UX / Australis changes starting here:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2593247&start=45
Nightly - Aurora - Beta is the direct development path to the Firefox Release versions. Whereas Australis / UX is a 'side path' for experimentation and development off of the direct path to Firefox. Changes seen in UX (or Ash or Birch or Maple or Elm) may never get to the Firefox Release stage, and if they do the Add-on developers will need to make the necessary changes for compatibility as they do now when changes are made on the Nightly - Aurora - Beta - Firefox Release path.
This is something I do not know much detail about, having only heard the term in blogs.
Whilst this forum is not for development or addon discussion, matters do become important once they affect ordinary users using Firefox release. It is important to note you will not get developers attention here, most developers will hardly ever even glance at this forum.
My Firefox mobile has curved tabs, but on Ubuntu Desktop at least Nightly & Aurora Firefox have not changed to the curved look.
If you do find where the subject is being discussed I see no harm in adding a few links, but as I say above this is not the place for discussion. If you find a suitable discussion forum/list maybe add a link yourself.

I do wish that the developers would stop trying to dumb down the interface. Why not make a separate Firefox for Dummies version, if they really think it is necessary?
Exactly my opinion.
The whole copy process of Google Chrome is just stupid! Why should someone want a cloned browser when one can also use the original. That point is as it seems not understood by the Devs!
And their process of making all more simple and easier leads to deconstruction of adon and theme customizations.. because an everyday computer user does not use that stuff anyway.....
And that is just disappointing.
