This is a brand new feature that no browser does, as far as I know:
I want the browser to check if a blog or news site has been updated based on the RSS feed of that particular site and it should indicate it if there is new stuff available next to the bookmark. It's kind of like an RSS news reader new message indicator integrated into a browser.
Safari does that.
looks like Ivans feature got implemented eh?

Is what you need to get page previews in your tabs like OmniWeb. It works nearly the same.
But to be quite honest, I think it's a "cutesy" gimmick that is marginally useful - not to mention a resource hog that slows your browsing down and shrinks the screen real estate. Again, I say you can only read one page at a time, so having a preview image of another page is of very little value, no?

Hmm, we had an article about some software for Safari that lets you have OmniWeb-style tabs. Download here. I still think it has a few versions to go though before becoming 100% perfect - has a few bugs and aggravations, so I really don't use it much :)
For FireFox...no idea...I don't use/like it anyway, but you could prolly find a module for it that does something like that.
Opening links on new tabs is very usefull...
what would be great , for me at least, is to have the option to open that tab NEXT to the current one and NOT as the last tab...of course let the user decide what the behaviour is.
In this way the user could keep the tabs from the same site grouped together
I mean, how many pages can you read at once? If a link opens another window/tab, that means you want to read it later, otherwise you would open it in the same window. So what difference does it make where the tab is located? Just curious.

How about it not take an ice age to launch (even with the G5 "Deer Park" version)and make the form elements look Aqua like and not some hacked up Netscape boxes and cursors.
Why not smart lists for site bookmarks.
Give me bookmarks of the top five unique sites in google that reference a particular subject and have rss feeds available. A bookmark folder is just a playlist by another name...Why not go the whole way.
afterglow.ie - Icons, interfaces, illustration
You can get those by using FireFoxy... works great.
