Next-generation Firefox will mimic Chrome's tab Display Mode

Chrome's market share has maintained a strong growth momentum in the past few months. With the release of chrome 5.0 stable version on Windows, Max, and Linux platforms, this momentum will continue. This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on Firefox, which ranks second in the market.

The initial design idea of Firefox was to inherit the IE (more specifically, IE6) interface and provide great customization capabilities through extensions (additional components), so that it could win advanced users from IE 6, then we can get common users. Nowadays, Internet Explorer 6 is already in the dark, and the XUL-based extension system is too cumbersome. In the face of Chrome's aggressive momentum, Firefox's Development Team has begun to incorporate Chrome's outstanding features into the design and development of Firefox in the future. For example, the tabs are displayed on the tab and there is no restart to install the extension. The tab is displayed on the top of Firefox 3.7 apha 5. Users who are interested in Firefox can download the corresponding system version (Windows, Mac, and Linux), right-click on the navigation bar, and select "tabs on Top ". Because this is Firefox 3.7's 5th alpha version (also known as Developer Preview version), I believe the first beta of Firefox 3.7 will be available soon.

Firefox 3.7-"tab on" Mode

The "no restart installation extension" has already appeared in Firefox overnight build, but most of the existing extensions do not have the function to instruct Firefox not to restart, for a long time, Firefox users still cannot enjoy the convenience of installation and upgrade without restarting like chrome.
