bugzilla.mozilla.org— Firefox 3 is having an identity crisis on the Mac. Recent screenshots reveal that the new theme is striking similar to Apple's Safari. If you can't innovate, imitate.

Both of those designs are probably going to change once Leopard comes outAnd anyway, this doesn't "fit in" with the design of OS X either. The arrows are inconsistent with those in OS X, they shouldn't have that little pill in the top corner on that type of window, and the shading on the tabs is messed up.. it just looks like a cheap rip-off to be honest. I know this is a mockup but they should at least try to come up with something original. This is definitely a step up from the Firefox 2 theme, though..
Repeat after me: Firefox is not an OS X applicationMy preference is for what's good about Firefox to be integrated into the Camino project so that we can have the best of both worlds. Cross-platform applications are nice in one respect but it does mean that they end up catering to the lowest common denominator, or Windows as it's called by everyone else. Give me a proper Cocoa application any day of the week over Firefox...Looking like an OS X application is not enough.
original poster is a f**king moron - it's SUPPOSED to look like Safari - because everything on the Mac looks the same. The firefox developers make an effort to integrate their browser with the OS's predefined visual look / feel and they are blasted for being 'copiers'...f**king retarded.According to this mentality, every single 3rd party application developer for the Mac is a copier of what apple does because they bother to use whatever default visual guidelines Apple releases. Not to mention the fact that every single Windows developer is an 'MS copier' because they use the default windows widget library for menu's, buttons and so on.Give me a f**king break.
What do you mean "If you can't innovate, imitate."? There's nothing special about Safari's theme. It's various gradients of gray. The constant "holier-than-thou" attitude mac people have is irritating, especially considering how little you people have to back it up.
FF has made themes that integrate into all OS' (except Linux distros since there are a billion of them) not sure why it's shocking that the OSX version would be made to look like Safari. Just thank god it works better than Safari and move on with it.

I don't understand why they'd do it; Safari looks like death.

I think FF3 will support color profiles if it doesn't already

But if he had said "Safari in Windows rocks" you would have said "stands out from every other windows app then"
