First, I can see the relation considering tabbed browsing. But - all current browsers, except IE, supports tabbed browsing. Opera has supported tabbed browsing for years.
Secondly, and most important, the fact that it is built on the IE engine shouldn't be positive.
IE isn't more compatible with current websites, it's IE that is NOT compatible with current web standards (http, html, css, ++), and since IE has had such a high market share today, many websites are designed for IE users only.
And remember, webmasters, it would be a LOT easier to create websites today if all browsers supported web standards like the Gecko engine does (which is the rendering engine Firefox uses).
In addition I'm assuming this IE-based browser supports ActiveX, which is, by far, the highest security bottleneck exploited by web sites today.
I'm sorry if this reply seems bitchy, but I didn't like the way you compared and left firefox in your thread.
I know this is one of my first few posts and all on this board, but I hope some of you understand and don't get the impression I'm bitching 
I'm gonna start look for an extension for Firefox which can autocomplete forms, and I bet it doesn't require much work to extend it so it can be a tool for submitting free sites / galleries for us submitters.
Have a great day folks

Enjo! Dont be sorry.. bitch away and kick the shit out of me... I LIKE it
(welcome btw)
I'm glad you like Firefox so much.. and feel moved to be offended by comarisons even!! Will make for a more interesting discussion maybe
Imho more than 50% of your statements about Firefox are just plain wrong.. and believe comparing Firefox to Maxthon is like comparing Netcape4 to IE6.... one is a nice idea put together in a clunky app that never quite was perfected.... before the comercially orientated competition takes the great idea and makes it work far better.... Firefoxes tabbed browsing system is all it's got... Maxthon has 6 or 7 innovative features but ALL of them actually work! and Maxthon tabbing is almost inarguably far better than Firefox's anyway! 100% of people i know that have tried say that almost straight away!
But I've actually tried both Firefox and Maxthon... if you care enough to go and look at it... I promise to take the time to do the point by point debate thing on why I think so many of your opinions about Firefox are wrong.

or maybe just use Maxthon which already does this.. In fact for forms it has a cool feature where you can HotKey copy the contents of forms as a built in function...... and comes bundled with roboform which will do what you want... or just use almost ANY of the IE compatible plugins available already.
I challenge anyone to look at this list of features and not have to see it to beleive it... see it run twice as fast as firefox and much faster than IE.... and take 30% less resources than IE does!

OH YEAH! Almost forgot... Any of you Firefox users been missing the Google PR toolbar? Guess which browser has it? ;-)
(Do you think he likes it so far?)
