They are missing MANY features that they have promised for a very long time.
1) Separate processes for each tab and add-on to improve stability
2) New Tab page built-in that was supposed to be real innovative
3) Ability to save Web Apps as separate Apps (just like you can currently in Chrome and IE9)
4) much improved download manager in a separate tab except a separate popup
5) Taskfox built-in (ubiquity)
6) Jump Lists for Windows 7
If they added these 6 then it would be 100 times better.

1) They just pulled plugins out of the main process, but the tabs thing takes too much memory.
2) Focus has changed to the Home tab, this is for afterwards.
3) They changed this to App tabs.
4) This is in the queue to be work on after they finish the new theme.
5) Haven't heard anything about this.
6) This is in the latest betas.

1) I would not mind using a little more memory if it increased stability (Chrome does it already)
2) I do not understand what you mean.
3) I want AppTabs and Web Apps saved as separate programs also. I would use the two of them for different purposes. I am a student so I would use App tabs as things like wikipedia, Dictionary.com, etc.. However, I would use Web Apps for things like Facebook. If done correctly they can differentiate the two and purpose them for different things. I especially want the separate web apps once they start supporting Jump lists.
4) Will this be included in FF 4 or after?

FWIW, none of those features were publicly announced or promised. Sometimes Mozilla developers do some work or exploration on a feature, but it doesn't make the cut in time for release, so it gets pushed. Just because they have explored an idea doesn't mean it is a promised feature.
