ax3 - No they aren't. They are just in hurry to speed up schedules to become the best browser. They don't wage war like IE does. Mozilla never compares its features for marketing unlike IE.

No offense, i am not even a FF user, but this ideology does not go down well with me. Why not divert your resources to the thing in hand rather than spread out all over the place. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.
They are receiving some criticism for the lack of innovative features in FF3, something which had got them the users in FF1. I have not followed FF's development or releases closely in a very long time, so if i have missed a really innovative or a feature which is strong enough to pull users from other browsers, do let me know. Please dont say the security and stuff.
They have not even fulfilled their announcemnt of Vista Aero look in FF3. Is the UI and the GFX of the browser so hard to develop? We are not even talking about WPF, just let it look like a native windows application.
I hope they finish the UI tranformation by the time FF3 is released, i would install it and use it occasionally then.
FF is a very nice and an innovative way of browsing, with all the extensions to improve your experience. But the current UI simply turns me off.

Think Zen.
Actually, they are not quite dividing the resources.
FF2 is already stable, meaning no development only bug fixes.
So no developers needed.
FF3 is now at beta 4 and close to being released.
Most of the work has been done and again only bug fixes to make it stable for the release.
It is at this point they start on a new version FF4.
And AFAIK FF3 Beta 3 itself brought native UI look to all three platforms.
Windows, Mac and Linux.
You should try FF3Beta4, seriously a lot has been changed.
And yeah even i hated the UI and if you thought the UI looked out of place on Windows , try looking at it in Linux where the windowish icons look terribly out of place.
But FF3 has now support for GTK+ on Linux and is looking way better.
Just give it a whirl and lemme know how you feel.

I installed FF B4 yesterday, but no, this is not the native windows vista look and everyone here knows that.
The native look for Mac has been released, but it is still missing in Vista.
I did not know that B4 was not yet released, i found it on filehippo. My bad and also Filehippo's.

Well, according to me, this does not fulfill my requirements as a native Vista UI app. The buttons really look ugly. I do not require them to follow the IE7 style buttons, but the glow and the Aero look can be incorporated. Also the background of the menu bars and the icon bars look ugly too.

I am testing FF since the time of early alphas of FF2 and provided some bug reports as well.
And my problem with the FF4 alpha was nothing as I later discovered. Vista just needed a reboot before installing that version, because I installed and removed a lot of programs on that season before doing the install.
