Nearly all of the potential features mentioned in those scraps of speculation are already available to FireFox users in the form of community extensions. For all I know they are all available as extensions (some of that stuff I don't care enough about to have ever looked for an extension for).

Second, Mozilla needs to be careful. If any of this is true and Google comes waltzing in and steps all over the extensions that the community has produced by reworking them and slapping a multi-colored "G" on them, Mozilla might find themselves with a community ready to look elsewhere. Google could dork it up, too.

I guess it is similar to the corporate attention Linux has been getting recently. It's important for the companies to be sensitive to the communities, and equally important for the communities to realize that if they want to support their browser, they are going to have to expect some corporate influence.

Why am I commenting on this GBrowser speculation again?

I don't know...if G is really going to make a "FireFox distro" they are going to have to find more interesting stuff to put in it than that which was mentioned in those articles.

I'll also offer a wager, I'll bet you dollars to donuts it will only work on Windows.
