Firefox Accepting Feature Suggestions for Version 3
Krishna Dagli writes to mention an article over at Ars Technica discussing the Firefox team's call for feature suggestions. Version 3 of the software is already in the works, and the team members are looking to the community for ideas on where to go next. From the article: "The wish list is long indeed, and it provides an insight into the desires of the browser community, and a look at the open source development process. While closed-source projects often ask their user community for feedback on requested features, the process is not usually open to the public. For Firefox 3, anyone can both suggest new features and comment on other people's suggestions. The feature requests are divided into categories, such as browser customization, privacy features, security, history, download manager, and other areas. There are suggestions for features found in other competing browsers, such Safari, IE 7 beta, and Opera. IE7 seemed to be featured most prominently, with requests for "low-rights mode," as well as more cosmetic features like skins that mimic Microsoft's browser."
To solve this issue, remove the Adobe Reader plug-in from your Firefox plug-ins folder. This will cause Adobe Reader to launch in a separate process with its own window. Or just ditch Adobe Reader and install Foxit Reader, the PDF viewer with less bloat.

It's a reference to the trouble Debian are having with Mozilla (shall we call it the IceWeasel debacle?) - Debian only includes Free[tm] packages and files in their distribution, the Firefox logo isn't Free. So Debian created their own logo for firefox, and use that instead. But Mozilla don't like that, and asked them to either use the firefox logo or stop calling it firefox

Startup Tabs (you usually go to the same round of sites when you turn on in the morning, so...)
1. Open up all the tabs you want to open on startup.
2. Go to Options and click "Use current pages" in the Home Page Location setting.
You can also enter them by hand in this field by separating tabs with a |.
