Mozilla today denied that it will "ribbonize" upcoming Windows versions of Firefox, saying that its plans to eliminate the traditional menu bar will result in something much less complicated than Microsoft's often-derided user interface.
"There's a key difference between what we would like to do and a 'ribbon,'" said Alex Faaborg, from the Mozilla interface design team. "Firefox will have a normal toolbar with two 'menu' tabs. We don't have thousands of commands like Microsoft Word, we have tens of commands."
"New Windows Vista and Windows 7 applications are moving away from a menu bar," added Mike Beltzner, the director of Firefox. "We're taking a look at how other apps are doing this, and we'll make use of menu buttons."
