| Firefox not first with tabs |

"innovative work done by Mozilla and the open-source community... tabbed browsing"
Tabbed browsing was first used in the Internetworks browser in 1994, and, using the NetCaptor IE shell, Internet Explorer had it in 1997. Firefox only got it in 2001, which was a year after Opera. Hardly innovation from Mozilla or the open-source community. |

| Mozilla had tabbed browsing for quite some time - way before FF was even released. |

The writer made no claims of FF being the first to implement tabbed browsing. The "innovative work" portion and the "tabbed browsing" portion are in two completely separate paragraphs, also.
The fact that they're doing innovative work and that they have implemented tabbed browsing are two separate facts. |
