Yes, you can get mouse gestures and ad blocking in Firefox, but that means you have to download them separately. Maxthon, on the other hand, already have them built in. :-)

It also means that if you don't want them, you don't have to have them. I love being able to use extensions to customize the browser, and only add the features I want.

Exactly--which means Maxthon requires you to use a browser that they have defined. Firefox is a bare-bones browser. The user adds the functionality they want--no more and no less.
