ere’s a little test you can try: take a good look at your web browser, whichever flavor you’re using, and name all the parts (outside of the actual web site you’re viewing) you don’t really need.

I’m using Firefox, and for me, it’s the home button and the title bar; furthermore, some elements, such as the status bar on the bottom, while useful, could probably be taking less space. Sure, I don’t mind having those elements, but I’d rather have more space for the actual web page.

The dev team that’s working on Firefox 4 seems to be thinking along the same lines. Recently, we’ve discussed a new set of screenshots which are depicting possible interface designs for the upcoming Firefox 4. These are likely to change before that version is released, but they’re a good indication that Firefox is about to shed its skin and remove or redesign everything that’s not an absolutely necessary part of your browsing experience.

In the designs, we see Firefox taking a cue from Google Chrome, placing the tab bar on top. Yes, it means that the title will be truncated to fit the length of the individual tabs, but how many users will actually miss having the full title?
