    A few nice new features, but it's still not Firefox.

    Come on Micro$oft stop playing catch up and come up with something ground breaking.

    The article seems to imply that only IE8 can enable or disable individual plugins. This is not the case. Athough Firefox 3 doesn't have the same list view of add-ins, the functionality is almost identical - Firefox just omits the install dates.
