In my opinion appearance should also serve usability and the issue with Australis tabs (and Google Chromes tabs) is the same, they are both wasting too much space and suffer from aliasing in edge/curve areas.
Instead of reserving 60px for the width of a stupid curve, tabs could display more text or tabs toolbar more tabs. In both cases the user would gain something instead of looking on a useless space.
Same applies for the dumb and ugly new AMO design, way too much useless space. That site looks like it was made in the 90s by a child, but I remember seeing more though-out page designs even back then.
This I would love to have. I've never seen the point of having the tabs anywhere but below the Bookmark bar/Address bar and just above the site page. From a geographical point well there is no point having them that far away. On top was change for change sake - YUK. Function + Form NOT Function + Different for the sake of Different.

I'd post a screen shot but tinypic is giving me troubles and I'm about to abandon that for the other. I remember some discussion earlier on moving the tabs but can't seem to find the posts. Has Aris figured this out?
Can some one point me to the previous discussion on this, PLEASE, then I'll try to tackle userChrome.css on the weekend. I like to tinker but in the past it wasn't necessary for me to fiddle with css.
Thanks in advance.
And as far as listening to their (Mozilla) user base well they need a cochlear implant because they are not hearing let alone listening. Yes security + speed are essential in todays browsers but so is form and function and one of the great beauties of <FF56 was that you could change & adapt it to the way you wanted it but allowing FF to retain security & speed.
Come on Mozilla let us the User Base decide how we want our browser to look.
OK rant over - thanks
