Never mind that you're too lame to switch to Firebird... there's some sort of vulnerability that allows malicious servers to steal your cookies. So fix it. Or switch. Or kill me.

-If I have 10 tabs open, each at some arbitrary URL, and close the browser, next time I open the browser I want those tabs and those URLs present. Only Opera does this.
-If I want a new tab, I want a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to navigate through 18 drop-down right-click menus. if there's a keyboard shortcut for 'new tab' in Flaming Ostrich or whatever, it's news to me; god forbid it be something intuitive like ctrl+n. It's probably alt+shift+7 or something super genius like that.
-Open in background tab: as 'new tab' above. Last time I tried to use mozilla, getting things to open in a background tab was like pulling teeth. From a hen.

To sum up, your preferred software sucks.

I definitely miss that feature about Opera. You can fake it by saving all tabs as your home page, but that's cheesy. There's an extension that lets you save your tabs, too, but it has a bug where you are unable to close a tab. Lame.

New tab? Ctrl-T. T for tab, in case you need help figuring that out.

Open in background tab? Ctrl-Shift-Leftclick.

Something I've gotten addicted to (when using mozilla or netscape) is assigning the 3rd-button click function of the mouse wheel to open a new tab if you use it on a link.

There's my 2 cents in this $250 conversation.

In Safari, Camino and Firebird, you can set things up so that "open in background tab" is command-click. You can also generally get it from the contextual menu (YES MACS DO SUPPORT TWO BUTTON MICE THANK YOU).

I never got used to Opera's persistent browsing sessions, but I can see why people would want them. Sam likes that a lot.

Hm. How does Opera behave when you have two instances open, each with a full set of tabs? Does the last closed instance win?

As for "open in background tab," as soon as they implemented the "open in background tab" feature a year or so ago, I switched it to default to background opening and never looked back. So I don't have any idea when they made it possible to force that behavior with foreground opening as the default. (I'm happy to report that, should I ever need the behavior, ctrl-shift-leftclick actually does "open in a new tab in the way that is not my default," rather than forcing a background open.
