One of the reasons. I think tabs were actually a bigger deal back then. Although Opera had them first, Firefox was the one that put them front and center. Back then, Opera was still championing a gesture-based interface, and Firefox felt a lot more solid and polished.
- derleth 13y ago> Although Opera had them first Opera had little miniature windows inside the main window. A small difference, perhaps, but tabs are simpler to manipulate at the cost of, perhaps, being less flexible (you can't resize tabs and move them around like you can windows).
- davesims 13y agoActually this is incorrect -- the windows you're referring to were part of the earlier MDI version of Opera. In 2000 Opera 4 came out with tabs very similar to what FireFox would have in its first release four years later (and its predecessor Phoenix had in 2002).
