Firefox Update 

I recently found a feature in firefox that might take care of one of my
issues. It's called "bookmark all tabs". What it does is creat a folder and
then create a bookmark for every tab inside your session. While this doesn't
quite seem useful, when you couple it with another feature - "open all
tabs". This feature allows you to open all the bookmarks in a particular
folder, each to a new tab. This effectively allows you to "save workspace"
and then "restore workspace". While I have in the past avoided using
bookmarks in this manner (mainly because I don't want to have a lot of
useless bookmarks) - this particular combination seems to make sense. Due to
the fact that they are all saved in one folder, you can effectively keep
track of a particular session and you can delete the entire folder at some
later date if needed. Plus, if you do decide to keep one or two of the
links, its easy to properly classify them before removing the entire folder.
Anyways, I will continue to play with firefox every so often, but I still
find it difficult to use a browser that doesn't always properly display a
web page. Correction - because I don't want to be all negative and shit -
Firefox does display web pages "correctly"; however I simply prefer a
browser that is more robust and has much greater compatibility.

Simple thought - if firefox is simply an interface laid on top of the
mozilla browser engine. Why not simply create a better interface for IE?
Granted, IE maynot be open source but its definitely got the greater
compatibility.
