just downloaded the final version and coudn’t see a difference in the Application Icon. Am I bind, or is it still the old one?

I’ll concur with previous posts on two points that IMHO need be corrected.
1) Let the user choose between Firefox’s own UI and an OS-specific one. People working with different OSes appreciate having the same Firefox in all contexts.
2) The Mac theme is too dark. It’s not a question of taste: inactive tabs are *difficult* to read. I’m constantly wasting time hunting for the right tab. Even favicons do not really stand out.

Not that I am hating on the new icons. I really, really, like the look of the current icons so I am hoping that you guys will have a theme that is familiar to Firefox users. I really like the look of Firefox 2 and after downloading the Firefox 3 beta I am not liking the new look all that much. I am not hating it either….but I want the option to stick with the default Firefox 2 look with new features. Are you guys going to do that?

I hope you are. *crosses fingers.*

Finally with FF3 RC1 there’s a mac version that doesn’t crash for me every hour or so.

BUT… this theme is so UGLY.
I concur with the gentleman who suggested pinstripe theme… that’s what I’ve been using in ff2 & I love it.

so… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE some decent themes. Not this dark shadowy stuff. Thank you… Jeff

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give Mac users a way to go back to the FF2 theme! Proto is terrible! Either make it look like a Mac application, using standard images and controls, or go back to the FF2 theme!
I wish i didn’t have to use Firefox, but I do, so make it useable!

I’ve created a gtk icon theme, and it has an icon for new tab. At the moment, the current Firefox icon doesn’t fit with this theme. Is there anyway to override the FF icons? Would it not be better to check if the gtk icons existed before using the default FF ones?

I want NO icons in the toolbar, only words with always underscored accelerator keys, so I can do it quickly, without switching away from the keyboard.

first - sorry for repost this msg (about 3 times on your blog - but I think is important )
…

Alex - this come from an UI designer,

Regarding new FF3 GUI..

Please do a simple dialog on Prefferences (and one at the first install gui) and LET USER CHOOSE between the OS like UI or Firefox 3 new UI.

In 2 lines You can solve a potantial time / space consumer like the flame-war between native or non-native UI(now it’s an acceptable fire but after Ff3 launch will grow on entire Linux planet).

Also - from functional design point - this must be a natural option.

Let user choose.
And You just saved the Linux part of this planet.

Regards,
Sorin
