Yeah. I don't think they'll ever be nice to each other Tongue

IE will always try to best Firefox and steal its features...

Today however, I download another update, and Firefox is allowed.

Even weirder, it actually gave download instructions for Firefox, showing the Firefox Download tool...

Bizarre...

Not really, the site has been "FF Savvy" for a while now. All they've done is conform with other sites such as the Adobe Flash site as well.

Not true, tabs have been on the cards for IE for a while now, but Microsoft have other priorities like the OS it runs on, etc.

At the end of the day, IE is a good browser because it does exactly that. It's an internet browser. Also, tabs were in other browsers BEFORE Firefox.

Yeah, FF also has a memory leaking issue, that appears to be fixed in Minefield.
