In modern times the Emacs lobby is no longer all-powerful and this mis-feature became an option, so Emacs users can enable it and the rest of us can have a browser with common UI features across platforms. Mozilla by default works the same way as all my GNOME apps, the Gimp, and iirc KDE too. That's pretty consistent I think. The Emacs lobby will always push to make apps work like Emacs, we can accomodate them to a certain degree, but at the end of the day, Emacs is not a true GUI app, and that shows. Nick.
