The widgets just don't act the way I expect them to. In fact the only OS Firefox's behavior is seamless in is Windows. I use it on both, however, because I'm now used to fun things like the gestures extension. I always have the same feeling of portedness using Firefox while in Gnome in Linux.

Imagine my sense of joy at using a browser that feels like its widgets were ripped from Windows XP :-) Yay.

Unofortunately, I've been stuck in Windows more than I care to admit over the past couple years. I really need to sit down one week (preferrably when there's no school) and make Linux do the fun linguisticky stuff I need it to. Hehe… I can only imagine.

(For those who aren't familiar with it, it's the project Dave Hyatt was working on before he went to work on Safari for Apple.) I completely agree about the squicky non-native feel one gets from most other browsers, and I made a post similar in spirit to yours back in August: http://e-scribe.com/news/31 Camino is closing in on its 1.0 release. I've had some performance problems with recent nightlies but overall their progress has been impressive. http://www.caminobrowser.org/ How about Camino? Gecko rendering, Aqua UI.

It's nice, but not quite there as an OmniWeb killer. I’d used Camino a long time ago, and just tried 1.0a. It’s nice, but not quite there as an OmniWeb killer.
