It's pretty accurate. He was one of the creators of the project now known as Firefox, and he was the lead developer for a long time until Ben Goodger took over.

I say again, that was *MDI*, not *tabs*.
"Opera added the mixed window/tab feature in Opera 6 only after it had already been implemented in Mozilla and made it a new mode of browsing that can replace their MDI model. Remember, tabbed browsing is not MDI." -- http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/dave/archives/2002_ 07.html#002789
As a matter of fact, no, it didn't. Opera had MDI, which is child windows inside a parent window. Opera didn't have a tabbed interface until version 6, which wasn't released until several months after Hyatt implemented tabs in Mozilla.
Considering that the OP was an old Windows user, it's interesting that we see people complaining about Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V not working in a terminal, because in a Windows 2000 "terminal" (cmd.exe), you paste by right-clicking, and copy by selecting followed by right-clicking. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V is sent to the application running in the terminal, as in Unix.
I thought Firefox was scheduled to be *the* browser in the suite [...] How does that work if Firefox is on a branch and the suite ploughs ahead?
Firefox is only on a branch for 0.9 and 1.0. That's no different from how Mozilla 1.7 is on a branch. Future versions of Firefox will be built from the trunk (or, more likely, from a more recent branch from the trunk), and thus will contain all the backend work that's been going on since 1.7 branched.
Of course, you're welcome to download the trunk builds of Firefox (which are being made available daily) -- you'll get the same backend fixes that 1.8 Alpha1 has, but it won't be anywhere near as stable as the branch builds.
I hope bugfixes [...] are consistantly and promptly backported to 1.7 (and thus to Firefox)
Actually Firefox is on its own branch now, based off the 1.7 branch. And no, not all fixes will be backported, that's the whole point of having a branch. And the bug you mentioned isn't even fixed yet.
or the impetus could be there to reverse the flow back to the suite
That doesn't make sense. If you wanted the bug fixes that 1.8 had, you could just get a 1.8 build of Firefox instead of the one from Firefox' 1.0 branch. No reason to switch back to the suite.
Umm, unless everyone who's explained DSL to me is lying, you have a phone line. You just don't have voice service on it.
Depends on your definitions, I guess. In my world the voice service is what makes a phone line a phone line, as opposed to just some copper wire in your apartment that happens to end up in a phone central of some sort. By that definition I have a DSL line, not a phone line, though the same wiring could just as well be used as a phone line instead.
In other words, everyone who's explained DSL to you was probably telling the truth:-)
Did I understand this correcly? Until now, you had to have a phone line and a subscription with a phone company to get DSL in the US? Wow, that must really be inconvenient.
This has been possible for years in Denmark. How come the US is so far behind?

You don't wanna use CHM, it's a proprietary MS format with some limitations compared to regular HTML.
You can, however, MIME-encapsulate your document to contain the HTML and the resources in the same file, very similar to how email attachments work. That is described in RFC 2557. This is the format that Internet Explorer uses when you do Save As|Web Archive (Single File).
A perhaps even cooler way would be to use data: URLs as described in RFC 2397 to include the resources inline where they are references. This is not supported by Internet Explorer however, so the general public won't be able to see your documents.
data: URLs are extremely cool. If you use Mozilla, check out this example:

No. Don't vote Independent; Green; Libertarian. That will only weaken the one party left that can help STOP this madness!
We should all go vote republican because they pose the biggest threat to our worst enemy? That's like saying that Apple is Microsoft's largest competitor on today's desktop market, so all those who are anti-MS should go buy a mac. "No. Don't use Linux; BSD; Hurd. That will only weaken the one system left that can help STOP this madness!".
No! The republicans and the democrats is one party with two names! Voting for one is just as bad as the other.
