Ah, now you see its not THE browser of choice, in my opinion Opera beats it hands down.....

little things like

cross platform ( windows, linux, symbian, apple etc)
sync'd bookmarks and history across all computers I use
voice feature to read out techie books/pages whilst I'm doing other stuff
thumbnail tabs that I have on permanently
decent built in RSS client
easy to set and site level preferences
auto reload feature

the above are a few odf the built in bits that make my internet life so easy, some can be done by using add ins to firefox but with Opera it all just 'works'

I take it your an Opera buff then Ian. I'm quite partial to Puccini or a spot of Verdi myself.

Never seen an RSS-Client in f.e. Aida (which is actually from Verdi).
What kinda role must that be?

I like that Chris.
There is something operatic about these 8's. The sound, the glory, the thrill and spectacle.... Then at the end the bleeding thing goes and dies on you.
Well mine has.
This opera started with a low rumble falling to a stutter, ending with a quiet cough.
The plot is something to do with wetness on the fuel relay causing burn out of the fuel pump.
Enter the astonishing beauty of replacement pump, performed with customary style by A8parts.
The chorus swells, the bass builds there's a hint of glorious 8 pot roar in the air, but it falters.
Noooooo the RAC man's libretto of easy start east go into the air intake has fried the brand spanking new Air mass sensor that Ben fitted only the week before last.
Doom and gloom doom and gloom, and a little tension. Will Ben be able to source and fit another new MAFS, before I (the stricken hero) leave on Saturday for a week in the west country. Pleeeese Ben, not the Scooby!

Tis home and once more working beautifully. Thank you Ben, you're a true maestro. For the literal minded, not the car. Although they to were astonishing, in a somewhat different kind of way.
Had a little play with Vag (ner) Com tonight. This for me is a humbling experience. Sitting there in my car, lap top on my, er lap. Vag com up and running with seemingly endless possibilities and I have not got a clue how to do anything. So frustrating Grrrr
