    Can't confirm that it DID ship, but this was the release were Australis was SUPPOSED to ship.

    Mozilla is planning a major design overhaul of its flagship browser with the release of Firefox 25, slated to arrive in October. The company makes a point to discuss its plans for changes openly, and this upcoming new version is by no means

      I think you've jumped the gun a little... Firefox is currently reporting no updates, on 24...

        I wish they implemented global Flash click-to-play, instead of having to enable it by site...

          It won't until its officially announced. It always gets pushed to FTP a day or so before release, and Michael does always make a note when it officially hits the FTP server.

          The 25.0 directory was pushed to the FTP monday, and Tuesday is listed as the official release date for 25. So, so far so good.

            Australlis isn't even in Nightly version 27. I'm pretty sure that on this next version-shift (to Nightly 28) it will appear, given that the http://getaustralis.com/ no longer gives downloads to the Nightly UX builds and instead says "will be landing in Nightly soon"

            So don't expect Australis until at least Firefox 28. I can't wait for it, as I personally love the look over what is there currently and I don't have a million add-ons. Not to mention that people seem to be forgetting the interface is rendered by Gecko as well by using XUL. I'm pretty sure Australis doesn't just look different, but performs better interface-side as well

              Don't want to start a flame war, but is this really how Firefox will look like (a Chrome clone)?

                My only problem with this is that by not resetting the session on restarting Firefox, it'll make the job of Helpdesks that much harder.

                  Nothing about the notification "problem" in Linux nor GST 1.0 support.

                    No Win64 builds

                    BTW anyone remember the rationale for not producing 64bit builds for Windows?
                    Something to do with their continuing support for XP beyond April'14?
