Product Visual Designer of Mozilla, Stephen Horlander has posted on his blog a series of Windows design mock-ups for Firefox 4 – there is much of Opera 10.50 and Google Chrome in these mock-ups.
You’ll also notice that the Application button that will certainly take the place of the file menu doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere, its position and size keeps changing. For more iterations of the Windows version of Firefox 4, hit the link below.

This extension offers three possibilities;
it lets you open a custom URL when opening a new tab;
It can load what ever is in your clipboard and lastly you can tell Firefox to go by its default, that is to open a white tab.

NewTabURL is Firefox extension that works on all platforms; Windows, Mac and Linux.
