Mozilla is by no means done with the graphical user interface overhaul for the next iteration of its open source browser.
And although all the major elements of the UI redesign are already in places, additional changes still need to be introduced in future
Beta development milestones of Firefox 4.0.
Case in point: the new all-in-one Go Stop and Reload button which will be introduced in
Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, at least, according to the early development preview of the upcoming release.
In the screenshots included at the bottom of this article, users will be able to see the difference from an older version of Minefield (the project preceding Firefox), and the latest Build, which is a sneak peek at Firefox 4.0.
The new all-in-one Go Stop and Reload button can be spotted at the end of the Address Bar (Mozilla Links came across this first.)
Early adopters that followed the development process have undoubtedly already noticed that Mozilla has moved the Reload/Stop button from the left hand side near the Back button, all the way on the right of the Address Bar.
Now the browser vendor has taken the UI redesign one step further, and provided an unified button that tailors itself contextually to the actions of the users.
The same button can be used to navigate to a website, stop the loading process or reload content.
But in all fairness, the major changes synonymous with the Firefox 4.0 UI revamp are complete, with Mozilla left to put the finishing touches on the next version of the open source browser.
The new All-in-One Go, Stop and Reload button will be introduced in Firefox 4.0 Beta 6.
However, Mozilla still has to deliver Firefox 4.0 Beta 5, which is scheduled for availability this week. Mozilla expects Firefox 4.0 Beta 6 to be the feature freeze.
