Firefox 4: more animation when working with tabs

Recently, photos of some changes that may appear in Firefox 4.0 have been published. The other day, one of the developers of the fiery fox published several videos showing how tabs will work in the new version of the browser. It can be clearly seen in the picture:

One of the videos shows how the Firefox tabs will be animated as you move. The second is the process of creating a new tab. In a nutshell, Firefox 4.0 tabs will be very similar to tabs in Google Chrome.

In the current version of the fox (3.6), when you click on a tab and drag it somewhere, you can see a kind of shadow of the page that the user is currently viewing. You can drag it to the tab bar, and the arrow will show its new location. In Chrome and Firefox 4 work with tabs is implemented more smoothly.

When you create a new tab, this is not just a floating window from nowhere, but a “hill” that grows from left to right (see the image above). When you drag a tab from one place in the tab bar to another, all open tabs will slide around it to make room.

One of the areas where the implementation of the new Firefox is at odds with the similar from Google Chrome is the creation of a new window from the tab. If you click on a tab and drag it outside the tab bar, then in both browsers you can create a new window with the page that was opened in this tab. Chrome is trembling a bit during this process. At the same time, there is no animation in the Google browser, this is just a page thumbnail, and if you raise the button, the tab will instantly become a new browser window. In a Firefox video, if you do the same, then when you raise the mouse button, the tab will gradually increase from a miniature to full size.

You can evaluate the new tabs animation yourself here and here .
