Mozilla has decided to bring in some extra hands on a UI upgrade for FIrefox 2.0, still slated for an October release. Toronto software company Radiant Core beat out two others for the project which will focus on updating four specific areas of the browser: the search bar, icons, the tab strip and dialog buttons.The present FIrefox 2.0 beta does not include any work from Radiant Core - you'll have to wait until the second beta, on schedule for an early September release, to see what they're bringing to the table.
Hopefully, Radiant Core can help make Firefox look more native to the various OSes it runs on; as a Mac user, Firefox definitely doesn't feel like it's from our side of the playground. It's good to see Mozilla taking a special interest in this area, and we're anxiously awaiting to see what progress the second beta brings.
