Well, not really, because in IE you CAN open a second tab in the same 
session.  You can even open a whole new browser instance by using 
Ctrl-N.  But you can also open a new browser instance in a DIFFERENT 
session by double-clicking on the icon (effectively launching a new 
instance from the operating system).

Firefox lacks the capability of the latter, and it has some deleterious 
side effects.

And again, I'm the open source guy.  I've almost completely removed 
Microsoft software from my desktop with the hope that I can move to 
Linux (as soon as Rational gets RDi working in Linux).  I was just 
trying to point out what can happen in the open source community.  It 
won't stop me from using Firefox, although I have to admit I'm less 
sanguine about leaving Windows now; at least I have IE as a fallback 
right now.
