Mozilla Foundation in More Development Trouble

sebFlyte writes "After the reports of problems with Firefox' development earlier this week there are now rumblings about more serious problems with the Mozilla Suite. Some developers want to spin the suite out as a community project that the foundation has no responsibility for, and others want to create a Firefox Foundation to deal with the success of the standalone browser."

  1. Firefox still missing some things... by RyanFenton · · Score: 0, Troll

    Tabbed browsing is nice for most - but for some reason, I still prefer opening up links in new windows much more often than in tabs. There's just something about the dynamic ability to position independant windows and close them in several ways that appeals to me.

    But Firefox still has no obvious options or plugins that let me override the functionality of the middle-mouse button. This isn't a rag on Firefox - I've just got an unpopular configuration preference. I've casually googled and searched the usenet for leads, but no dice thus far. I've also tried various tab-killing plugins, and exerimenting with about:config, but nothing obvious worked.

    Any suggestions short of re-compiling?

  2. US Senate in More Political Trouble by Karn · · Score: 0, Troll

    Karn writes "After the reports of problems with Social Security reform development earlier this week there are now rumblings about more serious problems with the US Senate. Some politicians want to leave Social Security in place with some adjustments, and others want to create a privatized retirement system in response to the pending fiscal troubles related to the Baby Boomer generation retiring."

    The parent isn't a troll, it's an analogy.

    It may be a poor one, but it's still relevant.
