The long expected, and often dreaded, Australis user interface for Firefox will have become fact a couple weeks from now. For those of us who don't immediately jump back to the last ESR build without it, rage quit web browsing entirely, start using lynx in protest, or just say fork it, Martin Brinkmann over at Ghacks has an interesting writeup on further UI changes being proposed. The only thing I found interesting are the changes proposed for the context menu but, as always, your mileage may vary.

I would like to have a fork of firefox 3.6.x
Any hints from people that have done things like this?
I bet there is half a zillion things to think of too

That was apparently done back in the Firefox 4 days. It's called Pale Moon; there are official builds for Windows and unofficial builds for Linux. I plan on looking into it sometime; perhaps ChickenFoot will work with it!

Interesting, thank you. I learned about Pale Moon last time I tried to drop Firefox, but I passed it over because I thought that it was for Windows only. I may have to try it now.

Do you have an opinion on the unofficial Linux builds vs. running the Windows version in Wine? The FAQ claims Wine "shows very decent speed in that setup."
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

I've never used Pale Moon, so sorry but no. I plan to look into it sometime, but not necessarily soon. A Firefox Betapocalypse would make the issue more urgent, but that hasn't happened yet :)
