The latest pre build 4.0 on 4th March 2011, has new tab shape by being more square and sharp edges, which look fantastic and is a great improvement. We would also like to see the address bar shape changed to square shape and font size increased by one point, "Screenshot attached". which would be more clean and enhanced. let me know if the enhancement is appealing and worth implementing.

Attachment: Proposed screenshot appearance

The address bar in the screenshot is a little more spacious and prominent with increased font size,the edges are round here but it should have square edges to keep it tidy and the outline of Firefox 4.0 window is more slimmer to make it look lighter

Duplicate of bug 603790.

Bug 603790 reduced the radii, but not to zero. Not sure if that's what this bug is asking for.

It shouldn't be squared, we aren't using squared GUI anywhere.

We aren't IE9 and hopefully never will be. Everything is perfect as it is (after landed bug 603790 that is).

Well, we have squared tabs, so this should be sqaured too.

But it look weird as shown in the Squared Address Bar Screenshot. It look worse than IE9.
