First look: Firefox 3 beta Mac

I've been using the latest nightly of Firefox for Mac for a few weeks now, on and off. Just downloaded the new nightly today (3.0b5pre), and to my shock was very happy to see that the Mac UI got updated even more. Check out the screenshot.

The Safari-like gray isn't new, but the enlarged "back" button is. It looks disturbingly similar to the Flock browser's "back" button. New also is an apparently redesigned "star" in the address bar used for adding bookmarks. It almost looks sexy (and trust me, Firefox and sexy never belonged in the same sentence before).

Looks like it's getting there. Now for keychain support. Don't let me down, Mr and Mrs closet Firefox geek squad team. Please squeeze it into this release.
