I just thought now that there are two add-ons for Firefox to get visual tabs like in OmniWeb I might as well just see how far I can get with Firefox replacing OmniWeb.

I'm now up to 15 add-ons and I still don't have all the functionality of OmniWeb. Text rendering (2.0.0.9) still sucks a big banana in Firefox, it still doesn't do real bold Japanese fonts it's still fake bold all over the place.

I'm on a mac Mini (Intel Core Duo 1.66 GHz) and Firefox' speed is still glacial. And albeit I can get most of OmniWeb's functionality in Firefox, it still is butt ugly. Even with a fancy theme Firefox is an ugly toad.

Yes the plug-ins are really neat on FF, but in the end the only plug-in I really envied Firefox for was Firebug, and with the new Web inspector we even have that functionality finally in WebKit.

So all in all I'm back to OmniWeb. Now I'd love to see a little more JavaScript magic to give me the full functionality on the google sites :-)
