I didn't even know what browser version I had - I've got IE 7.

Works for me.

Me too, but I rarely use it. I use Firefox. I like it.

You know what I hate most about Firefox and IE7?

Tabbed browsing.

Tabbed browsing is what turned me on to FF in the first place at a time when
IE hadn't gotten around to it.

Just curious, what don't you like about the tab feature?

I don't know - seems like over kill. You can always open another
window if you need more than one - hell, two or three if necessary.

I had somebody tell me one time that the advantage of tabs was that
she could open as many as 14 tabs at once and flip back and forth.

My answer was that she needed serious psychiatric help. :)

From an ergonomic standpoint, it's no better than opening up another
window, so what's the point?

Personally I feel tabs are less clutter than multiple windows. But you know
the saying, opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one.

I guess that's why they make Fords, Chevys, Toyotas, etc. :-)

I would hate to see an off topic discussion of something as divisive
as evolution get started here, but you have to admit that even Adam
might have had one in something other than a fundamentalist creation
scenario.

Nah, but I do love to play with a belly button and give my wife a nice
sexy foot and toE massage. Don't get me started or I will have to go in
and wake her up with some sensual foreplay. I have some great foreplay
you may want to try. Walk slowly and quietly into the room. With a
swift firm action, slap her upside the head and yell "HEY MARIA, YOU AWAKE?"

It is the same thing as using your bottom toolbar, but I would think it
would use less resources since you don't have a different shell opened
for each page.

I don't know how it works, but I always understood that it didn't open
up a new shell - but what do I know.

What's even better than tabs, is Virtual Desktops. Great for keeping
your different tasks organized. Windows has a half-ass implementation
with PowerToy.
