The three pillars of the big plan are standards support, full user control, and "super-duper fast" speeds Chrome is so yesterday.

And I see that FF4 will go the route set by MS and dump the menus. Damn, I sure hope that will be something that's optional. -- John Corliss BS206.

I haven't followed developments for the past couple of months, but at that time (and for a long time before that) the plan was to have the menus hidden by default but have GUI for turning them back on.
