For anyone who has tested the latest beta of Opera 10, you'll have noticed the polished user-interface, including a much-improved Mac version. It's made the current Firefox 3.5 interface look dated. Indeed, we have the Chromifox extension installed and this makes the plain Firefox interface look rather basic.

However, quick on the heels of the Firefox 3.7 visual previews, Mozilla have released some visual ideas for v4. These included an all-glass user-interface option for Vista or Windows 7 users, a unified stop/refresh icon and a more polished design. Problem is that Firefox v4 is going to be a a long-time from release, so don't expect it any time soon. For now, you might be better off seeing if there are any Firefox themes, such as the Firefox 3.7 Mockup Redux 2.5.
