Firefox 16.0.1a Australis
Get an early look at the new Firefox Australis interface

It's been public knowledge for a while now that Mozilla intends to future versions of Firefox to have a uniform look across all form factors.

But now Jared Wein, a Software Engineer at Mozilla, has written a blog post with an image of the new Australis design (or the new curvy tab shape, anyway). And if that's not enough, he's also created a test build (Windows-only) so that you can view it for yourself.

Wein says the aim of Australis is to provide "more customizability in a cleaner and fresher user interface", and it's certainly looking good to us.

However, if the grabs aren't enough then you can always download a copy to try it further. We're linking to the ZIP file version here, you can just unzip and run it without overwriting your current Firefox installation (but this is a test build, so we wouldn't use it for anything other than a quick look at the revamped tabs).

Verdict:

Australis looks like it's going to give Firefox a more appealing look, and we'll be very interested to see the finished version.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
