Firefox 19 has landed in nightly stage of development. Although many had high hopes that they would see the new theme in this development build, there is no Australis theme available.

At the moment, the features scheduled to ship with Firefox 19, due for release on February 19, 2013, are a visual redesign, dubbed Australis, a panel-based download manager and windows plugin hang UI, which is currently in planning stage.

The fresh nightly includes the panel-based download manager, again. It is located right next to the search bar, represented by a down arrow when no download task is running. When retrieving a file it shows the estimated time of completion.

If you click it, a dialog pops up displaying more details on the download task (transfer speed, full size of the file). More options are available in the context menu.
