"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?"

    The whole point of a public beta is to get feedback, and if that feedback is "the new look sucks, give us an option to turn it off" then it's right for us to say so.

    I thought the the whole point of a public beta was to avoid the costs associated with actually paying people to test software.
