Seriously, she uses it so heavily that it's a show stopper issue.

I tried once to make Firefox behave as mush as possible as Maxthon. There
are many great plugins, some obviously made to imitate Maxthon, but it took
me about 3 hours to get something that is "almost" like Maxthon. With
Maxthon I get that out of the box. But what mostly irritated me with Firefox
is lack of decent configuration. The small config screen covers only a
"very" small part of Firefox options, and I don't like configuring my
programs by setting boolean values manually in about:config. Still, Firefox
looks very promising, when it's out of preview phase I might give it another
try.

That's why I like it, less to screw up. :-)

Most importantly, Tabbrowser extension, which is for some reason not
mentioned on the Firefox homepage, and a lot of small Maxthon-like plugins,
such as add bookmark here, super drag & go and a few others. I was able to
find something to emulate most of Maxthon's key features, and though the
feeling was a bit "off", it was probably just the matter of habit, since I
have used Maxthon for about a year and a half now.

Yes, it is pretty intuitive, but it's just a huge list of (mostly) booleans,
not what you would call user friendly. At leaste they should put in the GUI
features that can be found in Internet options for IE (i.e. check for newer
versions of pages in cache always/never, underline links...). That would
make the transition much easier for IE users.

I tried it, but I like Firefox better. I would consider it if Firefox
plugins would work with the suite, but as it is, I will just wait for
Firefox to hit the final version.

As I recall, Firefox tab management (when you get a new tab and when you
don't) isn't very impressive. Also, I don't recall it having cleanup on
close in which cookies, cache, history would be cleaned automatically (I
could be wrong as it has been while since I have used it). Interfacing
to alternate download managers like WinGet or Download Express is
another feature I don't recall it having.

Personally, I like GreenBrowser as it has all of these features and is
slightly more refined than MyIE2 which is based off the same code base
(the original MyIE).

Toad

I have been trying Maxthon, the 'new' IE2, and it seems quite impressive.

It used to be that you had to download an extension to do it, at last
count there were 4 or 5 different ones of varying complexity, from
simple up to TBE which was a geek's delight if you like playing with tab
customisation.

The latest builds of firefox (those after Oct 4th), allow you to set up
what some call "single window mode" (check advanced options), which
means that unless specifically requested by the user, tabs will be used.

I've tried it, works great.

That is correct. There are extensions that allow you to clean all these
with one click, but to my knowledge non are automatic. Easy enough to
setup a batch file if you want though.


Interfacing
This one is possible, but I don't use download managers so I can't give
you details.


Really?
