Anyone know if there is support planned for Windows 7 features like tabs in taskbar like IE8?
Are there any pre-beta builds with such capabilities?

I really hope they come up with some cool ideas! At least jump lists! Although, making use of the new taskbar API would be cool!
Yes, it is all in Mozilla's hands  They can obtain the APIs so I hope they make use of them!

That's up to mozilla, considering the public beta was just released it would probably take some time. I don't know if they would be able to add it to 3.1 or not.

Unfortunately, I doubt it will be in Firefox 3.1 as well  In fact, I'm almost certain it won't be as Firefox 3.1 is beta 2 already

MS have to release and document the API first, then somebody needs to code it into Firefox.
There's a bug about it though, but obviously there's no work done on it. |

The post above yours also said that there might be a bug that's not currently being fixed in that API, which will discourage Mozilla from using it?

I meant there's a bug entry in Mozilla's bug DB about supporting it.
And if MS did release documentation I can't find it on MSDN, their search engine does suck though so that isn't surprising. |

mozilla still have lots of time to implement such features... it's not like firefox doesn't work in windows 7 now, it's just firefox isn't as user friendly as ie is in windows 7

For all we know, there could be a Firefox 3.2 release by the time Windows 7 is finally RTM'd.

Adding this feature to FF3.1 is out of question as they are working on beta 3 right now, and hope to get this released by end of March. With that said, FF3.2 will likely have this feature. But, 3.2 final release probably will not come until towards the end of year. I think it is possible for someone to make an addon to achieve the same thing for the meantime. |
