Firefox 2.0 To Debut Tuesday
An anonymous reader writes "Firefox 2.0 for Tuesday, says the Seattle PI. They give a quick recap of some of the new features, and discuss the ongoing IE vs. Fox debate." From the article: "Version 2.0 also improves on the tabbed-windows interface that Mozilla innovated and that Microsoft introduced for the first time last week with IE7, its biggest upgrade since 2001. Analysts said IE7 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, but the big question is whether it will stem Firefox's growth at Microsoft's expense. Firefox's share of the browser market has grown to 9.8 percent of the U.S. market this month, from 2.9 percent in October 2004."
No, they didn't. Opera had its MDI interface back in 1994 in a technical preview. When people talk about "tabbed browsing," what they're referring to is the idea of having one browser window containing multiple pages, which is essentially MDI. Mozilla also stole pop-up blocking and mouse gestures from Opera.

And provided you have gobs of memory, and stability isn't an issue.
There are these things called "standards", if you didn't know. From what I hear from "web developers", most do not. Look them up. Here, I'll even give you a URL
Hehe, you know... one morning you'll wake up and realize there's nothing to be so smug about. It takes years sometimes. Until then, you can keep having fun pretending you're smarter than everybody, and talking down to people with far more experience in the area you argue about.
