I agree with you.
We need to differentiate Firefox in ways that make sense to the average user. All we need now is some average users to tell us why they like it.
I have a feeling that tabs would come up but other than that I'm not sure what else the "average user" likes. In most cases the "average user" likes whatever comes on their computer because installing something new is scary or too boring for them. They just want to jump on the web and get to their porn.
Boycotting a product is not the right answer. The bottom line is that the user will use what comes with their system unless they are given a reason not to. So what we need to do is http://www.spreadfirefox.com/ evangelize standards and the browsers that adhere to those standards.
This constant bickering over which browser is the more double-plus good just alienates the user-base and makes them see it as "some geek thing" that they do not want to be a part of.
It will save your last session by default even if the browser crashes. You can configure it to consolidate sessions across browsers. You can also configure it to save a custom session.
" Can you set adblock to not show those annoying "adblock" overlays?"
Go into the Adblock preferences Tools, Adblock, Preferences (or Ctrl+Shift+P) and click on the Adblock Options menu and make sure that the Obj-Tabs option is unselected.
"* -- yeah, yeah, I know adblock runs against the whole revenue stream of the web, and it keeps me from supporting websites, blah blah blah. If I want to support a website I'll donate to it."
I noticed that you are not a subscriber to SlashDot. Does this mean that you do not want to support it?
"I'll use something nonobvious...like penis length."
I would use that but, you see, I just replied to this message in my inbox and in 90 days guaranteed my penis will increase by 3 - 6 inches and I will be locked out.

Yeah, I replied to my original post and I know that in most situations I am an idiot.

Future Plans
* Multi-OS install on the portable media, so the applications will run from every computer you use

Yes and I am still boycotting VHS in favor of Betamax http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Videotape_format_war/ .
