Are the Browser Wars Back? : How Mozilla's Firefox trumps Internet Explorer (30 Jun 2004)
Firefox also adds a productivity feature that Explorer has never gotten around to: tabbed browsing. You can open several Web pages in the same window and flip through them as tabs, similar to those used in some of Windows' dialog boxes. It's tough to understand why tabbed browsing is such an improvement until you've tried it.
