I agree with you in principle about web browsers behaving similarly to one another, but I'm not sure regressing WebKit's functionality to match Gecko's is the right way to go about it.  (Honestly, it makes me wonder what the point of WebKit is if you are trying to mimic Gecko.)


Firefox's extensions used their own custom platform (I believe XUL).  Chrome started the trend of DOM-based extensions.  

The Dec 09 patch came about because Chrome mouse gestures extensions that were triggered with the middle-mouse button weren't behaving on Windows.  The auto-scroll was getting in the way.
