"The new Australis interface has finally landed in beta. Is this really a step forward or has the Mozilla user designers lost their mind once again? Sure, if you are ok with the default user interface and don't tweak it to suit your needs then the new UI is not too different from previous releases. But if you, like me, like to change the interface to suit your needs, then the new Australis UI will probably not rock your world, it certainly doesn't rock mine. I can no long get the stop/reload button out of the url bar, the forward/back buttons are locked next to the url bar and so on. Beta Sucks, anyone?"

How many QA engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
3: 1 to screw it in and 2 to say "I told you so" when it doesn't work.

I can't be the only one who wants a consistent user experience between applications. I don't just use the browser all day, and it's very annoying to use several vastly-different looking programs at once.
It's possible, although difficult for the uninitiated, to make GTK and QT play nice together; but, if Firefox forces this custom UI upon us, I'll have to deal with yet another non-native-looking interface in my workspace. At least that Aurora interface abomination has the option to be disabled.
I agree with you: this is a waste of effort that is sorely needed elsewhere.
