How do they expect to attract Firefox users without this most fundamental of features?

They aren't looking to attract people by copying feature-sets of other browsers. The reality is that just about every major feature (other than extensions) introduced by Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. has been copied from Opera. It's a bit outdated now, but do a search for the "Opera 30 day challenge", and give it a shot.

I've said it before, and I'll continue to say it: Opera doesn't have a bad browser (in fact it's probably the best!), just a very bad Marketing team.
