   What I completely forgot to say in my previous post was that I ditched   
   Firefox in my search for the one true browser on OS X. One of the main   
   reasons was that it didn't work too well with Codetek Virtual Desktop Pro.   
   The other was that Comino just feels more Mac-like although the lack of   
   extensions is limiting.   
      
   As an aside, Virtual Desktop Pro is an excellent application for anyone who   
   has switched from BeOS to Mac and misses the desktops. The free (and Free)   
   Desktop Manager provides much the same functionality but lacks some of the   
   features that came out of the box under BeOS.   
      
   Cheers,
