The MultiZilla website has this curious note on it now:

"Just to let you know: The MultiZilla project is preparing for the
biggest change ever (bye bye tabs?) and thus you might want to read
our project team blog from time to time."

Which, perhaps, is in reference to HJ's recent blog of April 27th:

where he said:

I just changed the news blurb on our front page. Making things a bit
more official. Yes. I am working on a completely new product, and for
some time already.

My next product is currently build on top of Mozilla Firefox, but will
use Mozilla 2.0 in its final incarnation. The first thing I had to do
was to remove the complete Firefox UI=85 and I mean everything. Which I
have completed already and thus: =93RIP Firefox =97 diese kleine graue
Maus ist tot=85=94.

The biggest plus for you will be that you won't see anything=85 but
content. This means that it will be completely different, but the good
news, for you, is that you won't have to miss anything. This maybe
with the exception of today's add-ons, which will either be void or
need a re-write to support the new look-and-feel.

This idea isn't completely new (I demo'ed it back in 2002) but people
were not ready for such a big change. The people I work for these days
however are about to use a new kind of hand held by Apple Inc. and
don't care about these old-school browser UI's anymore.

Let's face it people: Mozilla Firefox is still the same old-school
browser, and so is SeaMonkey and all the rest. Loads of replicated
tam-tam but they fail, miserably, to raise above and shine. I'm so
done with fat browsers =97 dead fish in the water.

Developers with the same kind of ideas and passion are hereby invited
to join me and change the way we browse the Interwubble=85 and BIG TIME.
