And who told Firefox is the only open source browser. I might be contradicting myself by saying this because I am big time Firefox fan. However, I must say that Flock has arrived the arena. Yes, if you've not seen the new flock then I must say you have missed something new and something sweet.
The new tanned bluish look is just one of the changes. It comes with in-built features to instantaneous blogging. A new way to manage online media and a really eye-candy looks for the feed reader. However, there's a cost to it. The setup file is 10.4 MB compared to 5 MB of Firefox installation file. But in this era of cheap memories do you really care how much will the browser occupy the secondary memory storage. I have still not used it extensively to check if it fits the non-memory leaking benchmarks but I am sure even that won't be too much of constraint.
As far as support for extensions goes, I am sure with little bit of smartness you can bring every extension available to Firefox to work for flock. A big thumbs-up for flock and to the open source community.

Thanks for the kind words! We're very proud of Flock 0.9, and really excited about the additional releases we have planned in the coming months.
Regarding extensions: most all extensions should, as you say, be easily tweaked to work with Flock. The only exceptions are extensions related to bookmarks/favorites, as our favorites system is very different from Firefox's.
Flock on, and keep your eyes on www.flock.com/blog for updates!
