Safari's best features in Firefox

As we're all aware by now, Safari is now available for wind@ws.
So the question is, is there any compelling reason you might want to switch from the venerable Firefox to Safari?

The Safari feature most-touted by Steve Jobs at the WWDC keynote was its speed, claiming Safari beats out Internet Explorer and Firefox at rendering web pages.
According to Wired, however, that's not necessarily the case. To its credit, though, Safari does have several enviable features.
Rather than suggesting anyone move to Safari (why would we do that?), here's a list of Safari's best features and the Firefox extensions that bring them to our favorite browser.


How to get Safari's best features in Firefox

* Safari's Safari's "Porn" Mode
* Loading address bar Loading address bar
* Resizeable text fields Resizeable text fields
* Safari's Superior Inline Search Highlighting Safari's Superior Inline Search Highlighting
* In-Browser RSS tool In-Browser RSS tool
* Smart Back Navigation Tool Smart Back Navigation Tool

The only feature of Safari's that I really liked but was unable to find a strong Firefox replacement for
was Safari's new inline search highlighting, which really is incredible.
In comparison I'd call Firefox's default inline search highlighting tool pretty good.
Luckily Firefox also has several more inline search options that Safari is completely missing,
so Firefox still wins out in the end.

to be fair safari aint that bad, multiple memory spaces for a web browser is pretty cool

BUT it's hard to get to grips with the menu system that most winblows users are used to and personally it just seems a bit too cartoony for me, but I can code at the command line on *nix, winblows and macs (now)

so ignore me

Tried out Safari, didn't think much of it on Windows really. Applications on Windows should not enforce their own non-standard UI, looked really annoying (like iTunes). It seemed slower than FF to me, and offered nothing compelling, to me anyway. FF stays! Not to even mention that stupid Apple Software Update crap.

No he only lets me "have it" once a week. So I'm excited, you would be too when he brings that shit...
