How to experience a new design of the next Firefox "Australis" as soon as possible



In Firefox released in 2014, the arrangement of buttons and the atmosphere of the browser change, and it will be changed to a design based on an easy-to-use icon even with a touch panel, and now it is preparing for a public test targeting a wider range Although it was in place, since I was able to experience the redesigned interface of Firefox in practice, I actually tried using this design called "development code" Australis ".

First of allMozilla Firefox UX NightlyDownload the Windows version out of the software.

Click "Next" to proceed.


Click "Next" in the standard for the setup option.


Click "Install" with the default setting of the save destination.


By default, "Start UX" is checked, so clicking "Finish" will start the Australis version of Firefox.


Nightly version Firefox is not a combination of fox and earth, but a blue earth alone.



This is the interface of Firefox 25 which is the current version.


Firefox for Australis is like this.


The above image is Firefox 25 and the image below is Australis version Firefox. The shape of the tab changed, and when you tried to display the menu bar, the page title display that was at the top of the browser disappeared.



In Firefox 25 you can display "Menu Bar" "Navigation Toolbar" "Bookmark Toolbar" "Add-on Bar" on the browser.


On the other hand, in Australis version Firefox is only "Menu Bar" and "Bookmark Toolbar".


Since there is no add-on bar, all the add-ons are displayed beside the address bar. Press the button at the right end of the address bar, and various tool buttons will appear.


For example, you can copy if you select sentences on the page and press "Copy".


You can also easily enlarge or reduce the screen with a single button.


It is possible to add each button to the tool bar or exclude it from the menu from the right click.


When you click the "history" button, the list of browsed websites and downloaded files is displayed in a staggered fashion.


You can also add tools to menus and toolbars by pressing custom buttons.


Clicking "New Private Window" ......


Do not save user's browsing history or download historyPrivate browsingHas been newly started. A purple mask icon is displayed on the upper right of the screen.


In addition, Australis said that it will change the design for mobile as well as PC, engineer Jared Wein said "The scope of Australis is too big, so that you can switch presence using about: config settings Unfortunately, unfortunately we need to have a cumbersome plan to undo the changes, which can cause problems leading to the release delay of Australis, "he says on the blog.
