    A Web Browser Renaissance

    dv1

    firefox_davinci

    With the launch of Firefox 3.5 today, I’m excited to post an all new wallpaper to commemorate the event!

    Within the web today, a browsing transformation is underway.  We’re seeing constant advancement from the static browsing Middle Ages of old and the ushering in of a new Modern Era of openness, speed and security.

    Taking advantage of all the glorious advancements this new era has to offer has never been easier with the newly relased Firefox 3.5!

    To add to the excitement, when a person decides to upgrade to the speediest, safest and most advanced Firefox yet, it is best to update your desktop wallpaper to show your love for the browser.  Why not download a freshly baked Firefox 3.5 wallpaper?  Our wallpaper is rich in pixels and has 100% of your daily visual intake of Firefox fun.

    A big shout out to the team of Alex Faaborg, Jennifer Boriss, Alexander Limi and John Slater for the idea and feedback!

    Now, go get one now!

    (Update: Now get this wallpaper as a Firefox Persona skin!)

    download the widescreen version

      I love this ! Great job.

    8. Cool work! Thanks Martell!

    9. I know it’s probably proprietary and you don’t really feel like sharing but, on the off chance you’re feeling generous, do you have the font files for that? My rainmeter configuration would thank you tremendously.

      What I want to know is how you made it. I know its yours and all but I would love to be able to do something like that.

    15. Transcontinental says:

      Nice wallpaper for a fantastic browser. Version 3.5 is absolutely terrific :)

    16. Flore says:

      Thank you for the wallpaper and the persona.

      For the persona, you should link to personas gallery: http://www.getpersonas.com/persona/34365 (and not to the personas in your services.mozilla account)

      Great Job for the icon and the artwork!

    17. Florent V. says:

      This is great, but actually i prefer the simple black and white (on a white background) that you display in this post.

    18. Funtomas says:

      Beautiful. What’s the license? May I L10N them? Thanks

      Sean,
      This is really great stuff. Is there any chance you could post a version without the text, just the Firefox diagram?

    32. Ani says:

      Sean, this looks just fantastic! Will it be possible to make a usersytles out it which would make this as the background of about:blank ?
