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.

Can these guys learn to keep-blazing-a-trail vs. becoming another nondescript browser?
White back ground with gray letters - Unreadable! Ever heard of contrast?
It is as bad as not marking what is click-able with an underline or making a button. It is hide-and-go-seek not a good design. Do you hear that Microsoft!
One of my favourite apps on my phone was "My Data Manager", I nice simple interface clear and readable. Then they haul off trashed it, with white backgrounds with tiny gray letters, un-resizable screens... it is just awful wish I could rate it with a 0!.
Now, get off my lawn!

It's the new fad in 'UI design'. You're supposed to guess which parts of the screen can actually do something, because showing them to you confuses users.
