Firefox "Australis" UI now on beta test channel

4.7
Recently Mozilla let out that they had shelved their Windows 8 Modern UI version but that didn't stop them from moving forward with a generalized UI revamp for the browser as a whole. This week saw the addition of their "Australis" version of Firefox to their beta testing channel, the beta channel also included a new "Customization" mode that allows users to drag and drop features, add ons, and tool anywhere within the browser.

The Australis UI revamp is slated to arrive in Firefox 29 sometime later this spring for general end users.

We’ve changed the tab structure and functionality in Firefox to enable you to focus on your Web content. Tabs have a more fluid and streamlined shape, sit higher up in the browser and tabs that are not in use have been visually de-emphasized. We’ve also moved the bookmark manager next to the bookmark star in your Firefox toolbar to make it easy to save your favorite sites for one click access.Mozilla
