Suggestions

  1. Don't use Google Chrome buttons for configuration and control current page on Windows XP, use the same menu as Vista/7?
  2. What is the Page button for?
  3. A Chrome like Omnibar would be good (In this case, Awesome bar + Omnibar)
  4. Go, Stop, Reload would be better as one button, in the place of the Go button.
       - When something is being typed in, show the Go button
       - When a page is loading, show the Stop button
       - When the page is fully loaded, show the Reload button
  5. What happened to the status bar?

  1. Wouldn't it be nice to assign "hot edges" to the firefox? (Love the screenshots btw)
    1. When you hover your mouse to a specific edge/zone, the relative UI only shows up. This allows the browser to maximize all available space.
      1. Hovering your mouse over the top edge shows the tab bar.
        • mockupvista001full.jpg After hover: mockupvista001bar.jpg
        • When the mouse nears the titlebar, the main menu shows on top of the tab bar.
          • mockupvista001nav.jpg
        • We don't need to use both the tab and menu at the same time. ;)
      2. The right edge shows the vertical scrollbar.
      3. The bottom edge shows the horizontal scrollbar.
    2. An alternate view for the tab bar hover: mockupvista001fullbar.jpg
    3. When you hover, and have a hotkey assigned:
      1. When you hover to any part of the browser and hold the Ctrl, the top-left "fans-out" similar to an OSX dock, or just displays at the top edge, the Navigation Toolbar buttons like back, refresh, etc.
      2. Holding Ctrl + right edge doesn't show the scrollbar, but shows the outline of the document.
        1. Headings (h1, h2, h3) are shown as small glyphs as well as anchors with labeled internal and external links.
          • glyph.png We can use glyphs to show document outline

Mindless robotic praise

I am in love. Unlike both the Fx 2 and 3 redesigns, I feel absolutely no "out-of-placeness" at first sight. Well done! Bielawski 16:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
