Mozilla recently talked about the features that are being considered for Firefox 4. The latest version of this open source browser will focus broadly on improved speed, a simpler user interface, and HTML 5 technologies.

Specific changes include a rearrangement of the stop, reload and home buttons to make the interface simpler. A home tab will be included, though it is unknown if this will lead to more social networking features. Changes to the way tabs are presented and switching between tabs is also being considered.

Many of the proposed features are already available in Google’s Chrome. The public at large will get to find out how closely Firefox and Chrome resemble each other when Firefox 4 releases this Summer.
