i'd recommend you not hold your breath...waiting!

the difference between the folks building Chrome and the folks
building Firefox is one works for the corporation/share holders, and
the other works for fun (and us).

Chrome is built to serve advertisements and the company bottom line..
Firefox is built to serve us naked womens...(right houghi?)

Oops, found a problem with CHrome. If you have more than one account at
say AOL or gmail, it offers to remember them all but is brain dead when
you go back, unlike Firefox that brings up all the account names. Chrome
offers not even one. Brain dead.
