I think these designs fail pretty badly, for the first part, I think I can see around 1/2 elements on each design with my browser opened at slightly than larger size. which is more than enough for every other website I use. I dont care for the open source propoganda, as far as I can tell from these designs is mozilla want to engage the community a bit more, but nothing pulls me in. I would guess I am in the target market for this and I am not in anyway more inclined to become part of mozillas community and only 1 of the 3 even have a somewhat decent introduction to the suite!

Same impression here. The huge header graphics are a joke, I'm at a 1920x1600 screen but still get the vertical scrollbar at my normal browser-size. I also find all offered layouts annoyingly cluttered and uncomfortable to read. The artsy colors and low contrast may work for a webdesign studio portfolio - but I'll prefer the current mozilla.org over each of them any day.

  Since when were vertical scrollbars bad?

    They are not inherently bad. It's just a bad idea to have a header graphic take up half of the screen, pushing most of the content below the fold...

        Yes, there is. The fold is exactly where my browser viewport ends. Worse yet, google says that most people don't look beyond the third result. So the mental fold is even higher than that.
