Deeplinking is quite easy to put in if you know ActionScript (but yes, it has to be coded in), just cuz it's not a default functionality doesn't mean it can't be done.
...even after the inevitable addition of Tabbed Browsing to Internet Explorer....and Gecko......and AdBlock......and...and...and......and then they will still leave in the security holes, otherwise it would be just another browser...
You know why they don't use the Open Source thing as a selling point?
No, it isn't used as a selling-point becuz they don't need to, they already have tons of selling-points that refer to actual functionalities and areas where Moz/FF is lightyears ahead of IE...
Also there are quite a few options I expected to be there that weren't. Installing the extra options extension helped but I think the existence of that extension already shows there's a lot of missing stuff.
And you don't see the contradiction in what you're saying? Most, if not all, of the options you want so badly in FF are options you get cuz of Maxthon which is *not* your browser, it is a shell on top of IE, which doesn't have those options either. So you expect those options as default in browser A and not as part of some extensions yet for browser B it's okay they're not, cuz there's an extension for it that covers all bases. Maxthon is nothing more or less than a shitload of extensions for IE, some of those you want, some of those you don't want. At least with FF you don't have to install the ones you don't want:)
I think if Mozilla really needs to integrate a lot of the options in the extra options extension as default.
The problem is, which options... Different users want different options, so you'd have to put em all in to cater to all needs, resulting in a bloated browser with most likely a less-than-intuitive UI (for the average Joe/Jane) to tailor to one's specific needs. I'd rather have a small, fast and lean & mean browser that I can extend and doesn't have stuff installed that I don't want/need than one that has a bunch of stuff disabled but still installed.
One thing I see different is that some of those shots have the tabs on the bottom of the browser window. That's interesting. I wonder if you can do that with firefox... I'm sure someone could figure it out if they really wanted to.
It's easy to set this using the Tabbrowser Extensions extension. I prefer it at the bottom rather than at the top (or the sides).
You're speaking as someone who *knows* what they're doing while surfing, the average Joe (or Jane) who thinks the Internet *is* IE, doesn't... That's the whole point, to the average Joe (or Jane) FF/Moz offer much more & better security *out of the box* than IE.
Okay, makes sense then why I never went thru that procedure:) Thanxxx for clearing it up!

PayPal takes great pains to verify your identity.... To verify your bank account, they make several very small deposits and withdrawals, in the order of a few pennies, and you have to tell them the amounts and dates of the withdrawals. (I came out a few cents to the good.)
Since when did this happen? I've had & used my PayPal account for a few years now and never ever had to go thru this procedure, let alone heard of it...
Actually, with the new Groups-beta people can set up their own 'newsgroup', which is Google-only and not part of Usenet, so it's more than 'just' Usenet.

It's still not built-in and Java is still not an open standard.

Yes, and after those 2 years everything has to be released under the then-current license which might be something completely different. Nice...
Nothing ironic about it. It *is* off-topic as it doesn't address the article in any way.

A stern /.ing ofcourse.
Yer right, sorry... What I meant was, this offers Usenet plus additional groups, so in that sense it's more than 'just' Usenet.

> > Does it have a transparent extension interface?
> Yes -- Maybe a little *too* transparent. A kajillion google toolbar users can't be wrong.
So 1 Google bar for IE against 100+ extensions for Moz/FF means the extension interface of IE is more transparent than that of Moz/FF?
