It hasn't even been a month since Firefox 3.5 was released to the masses, but Mozilla is already hard at work on Firefox 3.7. We gave you a sneak peek at what features are coming in 2010, but now we know what Firefox 3.7 may look like when it's released.

Mozilla is known for constantly gathering feedback from its users to improve Firefox - this is why it offers multiple Firefox release candidates for download before launching the final version. So the company has turned to the web community for feedback on the preliminary design for Firefox 3.7 These screenshots, posted on the Mozilla Firefox wiki yesterday, highlight not only a cosmetic change for the browser, but at least three additional features. In fact, Mozilla took the time to explain these three changes from the 3.5 browser, corresponding to the first screenshot below. Here's their new feature list on the wiki:

1. Embracing Glass: Toolbar and Tabs using Glass. Buttons translucent and slightly glossy to meld with the toolbar. Raised 3D lookachieve tactile "feel". 2. Page Button: Connect the Page button to the left side of the tab area. Directly connected to the Page. 3. Tools/Bookmark Bar: Connecting the Tools button to the side of the window to emphasize the fact that it is used for customizing and changing the UI. Adding a button next to that to toggle the Bookmarks bar which is turned off by default.









As you can see, several buttons are getting a makeover and the "Tools" section of Firefox is getting a big emphasis in 3.7 so that users are more inclined to change the look, feel, and functionality of their browser via themes and extensions.

We've also included screenshots of Firefox 3.7 without Aero (Vista) and the new Firefox on Windows XP so that you can give us your opinion. What do you think of the new changes? Do you like the new design? Let us know in the comments.
