Control T brings up a blank tab in Moz for me

Just my 2Â¢ – I like having the search terms highlighted in the Google search bar, 'cause sometimes on large pages I don't readily see the word for which I was searching. Clicking the word in the toolbar causes the browser to jump right to the word, Very handy.

Geez, you geeks (god love you), make me feel like a AOL dial-up user running WinME on a E-machine. IE does everything I've ever needed in a browser, but I'm not as upwardly mobile as some people. As long as it can do HTML, I'm a happy camper. I would miss the Ctrl-Enter thing and the backspace/back button thing however =)

Holy crap! I didn't realize that they had added the Ctrl+Enter combo in Firebird. Ahh….that was the only 'feature' from IE that I've ever missed.

In Moz 1.3.1, if I type in lockergnome and hit Alt+Enter, it opens http://www.lockergnome.com.
In Firebird, I can do the same but I have to hit Ctrl+Enter instead.

One word chris, Firebird.
OK, here's a few more words.
The “TBE” extension give you all the tab options you could want (and then some), and I've been using the new “download status bar” extension, which organizes the downloads on a nice bar on the bottom of your browser (ss here: http://www.flatrabbit.com/gallery/stuff/tabdl).
I haven't opened IE in a year or so now, and even before that I was using the Moz as my default. Come to think of it I've been using Mozilla based browsers since Mozilla was a wee Milestone 8.
Firebird really is the browser of the future.
OK, that was more than a few words.

Mozilla has something similar to IE's ctrl-enter (adding www. and .com onto a word). If you type something that doesn't look like a URL, moz will try to load http://www.notaurl.com …
True, it's not exaclty same .. but it's there :)

Haven't tried the Google Toobar beta yet but on previous versions you just go to “toolbar options” and turn off “word-find buttons” to stop the display of search terms on the toolbar.
I love Google by the way but does anybody besides me ever feel like Google is the Internet version of crack? How close is Google to BECOMING the Internet for all intents and purposes?
