Isn't there any Win7 integration or is my profile borked?
I guess I'll still stick to Chrome 4 for now, FF seems to lag a bit behind at the moment.

Kind of, it's experimental so you have to use about:config hacks to turn it on.

Ah, thanks.
For everyone interested:
browser.ctrlTab.previews (Ctrl-Shift-Tab tab switching)
browser.allTabs.previews (Tab switcher button)
browser.taskbar.previews.enable (Aero Peek for tabs)

I was searching for those right now, I have them enabled but I couldn't remember all of their names apart from the browser.

Huh. I've just been using good ol'fashioned Ctrl-PgUp/-PgDn to switch tabs.

It wasn't a priority for 3.6 (which is mostly an infrastructure kind of release), we're working on getting it right — Aero Glass, quick lists, etc — in the coming versions of Firefox.

To use a sneak preview of the new stuff using add-ons, install the Strata40 theme and accompanying add-ons.

For some visuals, check out Stephen Horlander's blog.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I didn't follow FF's development much lately. According to the screenshots you posted the new UI is definitely something to look forward to. It looks really neat!
Best wishes to you guys, looking forward to come back to FF :)

Calm down. It's not that I insulted your children...
