It took so long because Mozilla never was just a browser, but a whole
application development framework.

There are a lot of functions that  will never be integrated in a main
browser because they are too domain specific:

Here are some scientific toolbars:

http://msdbar.mozdev.org/
MSDbar is a Mozilla/Netscape toolbar application for searching the MSD
and other macromolecular structure resources.

http://expasybar.mozdev.org/
ExPASyBar project. It is for all people who are interested in
biochemistry. With ExPASyBar you can have simple access to the main
ExPASy databases.

http://pubmed.mozdev.org/
The PubMed Toolbar increases your ability to search information in NLM
Medline database trough PubMed interface.


Other toolbar project at Mozdev:

http://googlebar.mozdev.org/

http://stumbleupon.mozdev.org/
StumbleUpon is a mozilla toolbar which acts as an intelligent browsing
tool for discovering and sharing great web sites with other people.

http://companion.mozdev.org/
The idea of this project is to build the popular Yahoo! Companion for
Gecko-based browsers such as the Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Firebird or
Netscape.

http://gimli.mozdev.org/
The project gimli is born with the purpose of creating for mozilla the
greater amount of toolbars like yahoo companion, of googlebar, and
another.


Seeing all these makes it rather strange that no one came up with the
idea earlier.
