Firefox is starting to look like Chrome

Go Blue-Shell team!

They had the PPA updated within hours of 29 coming out.

Using Kubuntu, does it make sense to have enable Ubuntu Firefox Modification addon?

Now all you need to do is enable the menu bar and Bookmarks toolbar, and you have the best of both worlds.
Looking at some of the comments around the net is laughable. A bit of a song and dance about nothing, is my view.

I like the bookmark sidebar. As long as a browser has that, Im failry satisfied. I dont care so much about menus....once I get it set up, I should very rarely have to go into the menus.

Actually for once I turned off the Menu Bar. The "Hamburger" menu seems actually useable.

Just upgraded. It will take some getting used to, but seems fine. It does seem quicker.

Seems fine on this end. Don't know if for real but seems quicker actually. I'm fine with it.

I was worried about it but the browser integrates with kde much better than before. Takes on color scheme, uses menus, just looks a lot better. Very impressed.

If you don't like the new Firefox in ya face (interface) but you still want a Mozilla browser then give seamonkey a try. It is like Netscape of old but using Mozilla's rendering engine.

I was a devoted firefox user from sometime around 1990, both Windows and Linux, until about 4-5 years ago when there was a period that the npviewer for flash would leak memory and run my CPU up to 100%, for me to discover in the morning. After fighting that for awhile, I decided to give chromium-browser a spin, and under duress, I got used to it. Today I'm using the air-oxygen-color window decorations on the air desktop theme, and to be honest chrome does not look at all out of place on KDE 4.12 desktop. Or so I see it. I use ghostery, adblock, and adblock-plus extensions, and I change the browser cache to the /run/user tmpfs, so the cache automatically gets wiped out upon either a reboot or a shutdown of the user session. I do have iceweasel installed for the occasional grumpy website issue, usually some bank or other transaction-processing site. But I don't use it much anymore.

If only we had a full featured KDE browser....

Same here...and with flash support.

True...but until then I just switched to Iceweasel from Debian's unstable branch. At least it will be supported.
(I added the unstable branch to sources.list, upgraded, installed iceeweasel and commented out the unstable branch.)
Iceweasel is FireFox 28 without the branding.
And, I went into systemsetting -->default applications-->browsers
and set my default browser to iceweasel.

I run two versions of Firefox every day. Current for work stuff, Aurora for personal stuff.

Aurora has had the new interface for a few weeks now. I'm surprised to say that it has grown on me and I prefer it now.
