Firefox 3.5 is currently the most popular browser out there; and while the next version won’t come out for another year, design changes have been revealed by one of the developers on their blog.
The biggest design change is being called the App Button. The App Button is just like the single menu approach that Windows 7 or Word 2007-2010 takes. It condenses all the basic menu items into into one single button. One benefit that was listed is that it is very similar to many of the new Windows applications so it will be familiar to users of Windows 7 or Word 2010. The different ideas of how the App Button should look are below.
There are also many different ideas on how the toolbar should be re-imagined. Most of the ideas are based around rearranging of the bookmarks toolbar and overall design with the new App Button. They are displayed below with a brief description as described by developers.

And then the developer showed a comparison of Firefox 4.0 and Firefox 3.5 in case your having problems imagining it yourself.
Smooth is the new black these days. Smooth and simplicity. And I think Firefox is doing a good job of pulling this off in their 4.0.
