You do realize the Tor browser is Firefox, right?
Also, Tor is overkill for most people, unless you're a hacker or an international fugitive. If you're trying to hide your porn history you don't need to use Tor.
What web browser do you use?

Tor is a joke, the NSA has been breaking through Tor security with little to no problems.

For those of you fans of FF, Australis is landing in the nightly builds. Highly improved U/I and the one thing I was watching on the Linux Action show when they were demoing FF Australis that they kept ranting about how much faster it was then Chrome with the new release with rendering web pages. The only reason I would trust that is Chris on the show is a Chrome fan boy but honestly it sounds like the FF Australis going to nightly builds and soon to ever one is going to be the biggest change we have seen in a long time. Check it out...

I am trying it out now, it's okay but looks more like a older browser then firefox v4+. I like the big orange Firefox button at the top left, it really adds character. But this one just looks more curvy and bland, and without the big button. It also seems to me, to keep from imitating chrome, they are keeping some valuable space saving features out, like the Omnibox that combines search and URLs.

It's already in the nightly builds and it's a clone of Chrome's UI, basically. Oh well, Mozilla is known for not being very original with their UIs, they copied Opera's UI in Firefox 4.
The screenshots in that article lie, by the way.

Actually, I see very little resemblance ti chrome. Stop being such a Chrome fanboy, I use Chrome and love it but I do not blindly hate other browsers.

I recently had to stop using Chrome or Chromium thanks to my college website did a massive update and nothing is working in Chrome.
To everyone else: Remember it is a nightly build and the dev's said there is still much work that needs to be done so many changes are still coming when you look at what they want to get completed.
In terms with how it looks yes I will admit it is Chromish, but I could care less how it looks I just care how it renders my web pages and lately Chrome has been giving me hell with this.

Then you need to get your eyes checked out.

For starters you could have put the same web page in both browsers. Most of the differences are the default window when you open the browser.
I see a lot of similarity here
The only very similar thing I see is the menu button.

Compare which browser is more friendly and more effective and simple to use!

DMGrier, that is true, but I still see little resemblance between the tabs. The tabs are taller and curvier on Firefox Nightly. Uglier if you ask me, but still quite a bit different. One thing I quite like about FF is the smooth scrolling, which Chrome has as an experimental feature on chrome://flags but still only works in very few sites it seems like.

The menu icon as well and the location of the menu.

Yeah, the similarity between those two bothers me. But it's probably just a temporary placeholder, if it's not I will be slightly ticked off.
