Gives me a "Windows XP" feeling (dread?).

Places two really large buttons all over the main text area for me...

Looks great but...

Ive never understood why they have so much complicated 'stuff' on their site. How do they expect new users to start using Mozilla when there is so much unnecesary technical information clutering up their pages. For the general web user who is just getting to understand what a web browser is all of the technical info about nightly builds etc. is enough to scare them away. For instance I know someone who has just been on the net for less than a year and I told them to go check out mozilla and they ended up reffering to mozilla as a "hacker site".

This new site is definately a step in the right direction but it still may be a little daunting for some users. They need to keep the developer stuff seperated as much as possible.

Crikey, even my pages are more interesting!

Good job they got killer conent becuase that thing looks rather amateur to my eyes. I'm all for 'simple' but please, please, combine 'elegant' with it aswell?

I quite like it. Designed by Dave Shea of Mezzoblue and CSS Zen Garden fame.

I quite like it too, although I think the look and feel gets more points than the layout which is a bit all over the place. I did end up with "where am I supposed to click?" syndrome.

Also, I get horizontal scrollbars at 640*480 and 800*600 (using Mozilla) which I would hope they could get around.
