For once Blake's right[1]: tabs are an almost-completely unused feature. Which is why somebody thought they'd spend all kinds of effort putting them in instead of addressing Mozilla's crippling problems.

They're making that decision based on one or more of the following: 1. Complete lack of knowledge that Mozilla even exists. 2. Want to see web pages, not blank pages because the webmaster forgot to dot the HTML equivalent of an "i". 3. Still waiting for Mozilla to be a step *up* from NC4.7x, not a huge step *down*. 4. Don't think that a lousy web browser should require more computing resources than all other programs combined. > Have no fear, such distributions know the most important user complaints > (they have direct interaction with users regularly) Oh man, that must be a rough gig.
