"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?"

I don't mean to be pedantic, but I did not disable any "space saving feature" I in fact re-enabled a convenient feature called the Bookmarks Bar... Taking away a useful feature is not a "space saving feature":
I put two screen-shots together so you can see.. The only "space-saving" was the removal of the Bookmarks Bar. Using all the old UI with a Bookmarks Bar hanging from both, there is absolutely no difference in vertical size.
Except for the fact that it now looks shamelessly identical to Google's Chrome, I miss the point entirely:
