I downloaded Firefox (because I am a sheep!). Can someone tell me what's so exciting about tabbed browsing? I can't see how it's any different from having multiple windows open, but they seem so very excited about it.

i love it because i'm anal about my task bar and because i like to have at least three windows open at a time - flist and email or news and email depending if i am at home or work. and then everything mentioned above. right now i have eleven tabs open and it is just so much cleaner. i despise (and disable) windows grouping, but tabbed browsing is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

i could go on about other great firefox things like bookmarking groups of tabs or adblock or bugmenot or how you can google with a mouseclick or keyboard shortcut from just about anywhere and add in quicksearches for stuff like the imdb and wikipedia and amazon :)

Oh, see, I love windows grouping because it keeps the task bar cleaner - because, yeah, I usually find that I have 10-20 windows open at a time, plus all my other applications. And the bookmarking would be great, but I do all my bookmarking in My Yahoo, because I like to carry my bookmarks with me. I do like googling from every page, though, and the quicksearches I will definitely have to look into, because that sounds like fun.
