Now that twitter open-sourced their UI kit, others will follow, which is nothing but good for developers!

Unlike twitter's bootstrap, here it's not really clear to me if it's available outside of the organisation. It looks more like just a presentation of their new design to me.

Sandstone doesn't look very appealing, though. Might be just me, but it seems a little uninspired.

Great, but you can't read the footer.

Also found quite a few spelling errors in my first (and only) cursory read-through. And the "subscribe"-button doesn't change my mouse pointer (in Firefox), although the example blue button just above it does. That felt weird.

Yeah, this page was mostly written for internal use and hasn't gone through the usually editing process. I'll clean up those typos though. Good point about the cursor too (it's the difference between anchor tag buttons and form input element buttons). Cheers.

The background image doesn't scale right on iPad... What a shame...

Known issue - fix is in the queue. A fragment of code from the soon-to-be-released responsive layout variation made it into the live site before the rest.

I like Tabzilla, and I may make use of it. Whether it's really functionality that people would use is another question.

Weird design choice, especially for a developer audience. On http://nightly.mozilla.org/ those narrow spaced vertical lines made me think first that my display was malfunctioning again, had anyone else that first impression too?

Does it bother anyone else how slowly the buttons change when you mouse over them? I mouse over a button and decide that it won't change before it starts changing. I expect hover-states to be much more responsive.

Yeah, there is a 0.25 second CSS transition on it. It definitely feels sloppy. I tried 0.1s and that feels a lot better. And actually, 0.1s on :hover and 0.25s on the base selector gives a neat "sticky" effect.

I'm getting a bit tired of seeing bootstrap popping up almost everywhere I look, so a new UI toolkit like this one is welcome news. Variety and competition are good for everyone.

I get the impression that this is more of Mozilla's internal style guide, along the lines of the Android Style Guide: http://developer.android.com/design/index.html, if other people use it, that's fine.

Very vanilla. I think that's a good thing. I like it.

Underwhelming and weakly defined
