A 'finished' browser in 3 months? Thats science fiction. Patience grasshopper ;-)
There are plenty of basic, fundamental things to get _right_ before worrying about plugins. They will come once the core of the product has settled enough that they can publish a plugin api that doesnt suck and wont change every 2nd week. It will take some time & require some limited internal usage before it matures. In my opinion, FF may have a singing, dancing, toast-making 'plugin system' - but since the fundamental things are wrong, the plugins arent much good to me. I could care less about plugins - Id rather the fundamentals were right.
