> like in Chrome you can't search your history and delete items in the search results, which I think is retarded as your only option is to purge your entire history Sure you can. Control-H or Menu->History. > Firefox plugins can do pretty much anything -- Chrome plugins are basically useless. It's worth noting that Firefox is working on adding Chrome-like 'useless' extensions to their browser. https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/index.html https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/index.html > a non-profit organization behind it Sure, but remember that they don't run on rainbows and dreams. Mozilla is basically funded by Google affiliate payments. - I do agree about AwesomeBar (miss it) and extension support (though I don't miss any from FF, myself) though.

Sure you can. Control-H or Menu->History No you CANNOT. Mozilla is basically funded by Google affiliate payments That doesn't say much or anything at all. Mozilla wasn't founded by Google and could always find other sources of revenue. Also, Mozilla isn't a public company with shareholders, it's also not a company masked as a non-profit to evade taxes, which means Mozilla's interest isn't profit, just survival. It's a totally different ball game. EDIT: also about Jetpack, Chrome-like plugins have been available for Firefox for quite some time, you just need to install a plugin -- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/

    Well, with elaborate replies like that ... Perhaps you should bother reading what I wrote first, instead of doing screenshots to prove me wrong? Take a look at the phrase you yourself quoted ... you can't search your history and delete items in the search results Do I really need to elaborate more on it?

      I can, 1) Search my history 2) Delete items in the search results As shown in that screenshot. EDIT: Since I can't reply to him (yet?), thank you mbrubeck for replying and explaining the comment instead of just typing "YOU CANNOT."

        Once you do a search, the option to remove items disappears. You can delete items or you can search, but you cannot delete items in the search results.

        Dude, I know natural language can be ambiguous, but I left no room for ambiguity. So to summarize -- (1) misread what I said, (2) assumed I'm an idiot who can't find Chrome's History panel and (3) replied with "works on my machine" just to prove me wrong. If you like Chrome, great, personally I love both browsers; but the issue here is that you should stay as far away as possible from real customers.
