   The firefox team is in a browser mindshare war and they are racing to    
   add features at an ever-increasing pace.  New versions are coming out    
   much faster as a result.  Makes it much more difficult for    
   non-mainstream platforms to keep up.  The most useful thing about FF4 on    
   OS/2 is the webm player and its overall javascript capabilities,    
   although, as you say, some sites are incompatible, usually older ones.
