Very good. Nice slide effect. Good thing for new user rediscovering the web.

1) The “Click on the close button on this tab to go to your home page” bubble doesn’t line up unless you’re set up to show the close buttons on each tab and you’re running the Windows XP theme (I use Windows Classic).

2) You don’t “click” Ctrl-T, you press Ctrl-T.

Swap #1 & #4 and you have a better list. Tabs are so common now with all browsers now-a-days. Add-ons are what lead me to Firefox and what has kept me with Firefox.

Great to see that Mozilla isn’t resting on its laurels here. Every IE user won over is another chip off the huge, mountainous Microsoft mountain.

Thanks Percy. That’s a good point about the tabs. In this case, we weren’t necessarily trying to show off the most innovative features, just ones that made an immediate and easily understandable impact. We actually had more features listed on that particular panel but took them out in order to be as simple & direct as possible. (plus, we still get quite a few converts from IE6)

But, as you noted, this is the first step, not the final one. There will definitely be future iterations of this page, so we’ll see where it leads.

Stay tuned!
