Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's browser review - a followup

The trouble with all the mozilla browsers is that even though they provide extensions, they're not emacs. That is to say, you can't interactively develop in them with on line help available for all the XPCOM components that you're likely to use. If mozilla had made that available, then we'd really see a plethora of browser extensions!

Some (myself included) would regard that as a feature. ;-)
