Firefox 3 in its sightsÂ…

To aid users in finding frequently used URLs, Firefox 3 has its Awesome Bar, which displays a drop down menu of recent webpages culled from your browser history file. IE 8 has something similar. Type in any URL and IE 8 matches it to any URLs in your browser history file. That way co-workers can't see what you've typed before. Also it allows you to simply eliminate mistyped URLs.

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.
