One day, a gal from Tennessee was serving a guy New York, and she sat him down. The ordeal was normal, he ordered the food and got it, but the girl forgot to bring silverware. So the New Yorker exclaims "Excuse me, can I get a fouk 'n spoon?" The gal shouts in response that it is very impolite to swear, and the New Yorker responds, "Miss, I just want a fouk and a spoon!"
We're never going to let it down, like Ted Steven's series of tubes, Taco's "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." about the iPod, Apple's Itunes deal with Nokia, and many other things.
Also, have you seen television lately? They literally record everything, and play back things out of context against an opponent just to watch them squirm. It's not just the internet.
I believe the term you are looking for is extension, since plugins are like the Flash plugin that is an executable file versus say Adblock which is interpreted code. Confusingly, they are both called add-ons.
Yes this distinction matters, because I run sometimes an ARM build of Firefox, so all extensions not Windows or Mac specific still work.
... In a direct reply to your plight though, you could port it yourself to the latest Firefox. It's just javascript and some xml-esque code for interfacing with the menu zipped up, so if you wanted you can port it yourself. Or have you not looked hard enough for an equivalent extension?
Click Edit for Mac/Linux or Tools for Windows, Configuration Mania, which should be under preferences.
Make sure Browser is highlighted on the top row, if not click it. Click Browser Cache on the Left Column. Press Disabled under Max Number of Pages Stored in Memory.
It keeps closed pages all in RAM, and decides based on your total RAM how much it will save. There are almost no leaks, just dumb decisions (developers) and judgments (users).
I'll just copy and paste this here. This was discussed on a previous Firefox 4 topic, and is quite relevant even if it's sycophantic.
(But they did fix memory leaks from the last build. Which, for a beta product, memory leaks can be randomly added.)
Which means that there are viruses that scan the internet for open security holes regularly at random IP addresses to infect other machines.
OH NO XP IS INSECURE, WE SHOULD ABANDON IT!
No, not really, it just means you should keep it patched, and not used EOLed OSes. If you are unlucky to have an XP without any SP for whatever reason, you should not connect it to the internet, and patch it offline.
So what is my point? The internet is dangerous where known and unknown threats can be found, but there are simple steps for each OS (car analogy: wear seatbelts) to help keep you safe, such as regular patching.
Pwn2Own contests regularly have Safari/Mac software as a valid winning target.
Is it good data? Maybe not. But the point is that Mac's aren't targeted much because the Windows desktop share is much larger (some figures say 90%). So while they can get viruses, it's not a valuable target for botnets.
Still waiting for the first Mac OS X virus in the wild...
This is what he's talking about.... It's oddly interesting, but I prefer this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jC8JIjW2cw (this one is special for it does something few other videos do).
Or maybe, as a UI bonus, it can be used as a FIFO for disk space: when it's full, it deletes the oldest file first. Except that would fragment the file system to hell.
PPAs are a great way to have the latest version of a handful of programs, and have nothing to do with hell that I'm aware of. But yeah, if you want cutting edge everything then Ubuntu's six month release cycle is probably not for you.
Debian depending on the version you install can be far behind or raw bleeding edge like Arch, but at least Arch gives some semblance of Desktop stability. The point of the previous post was a recommendation to try Arch.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say "Party Pooper" means something in a totally literal way.

No, it means stuff like this will work a little better.
Or maybe... it's just her accent. There's a joke:

Karma, much? Your tight grip of copyright and patents are biting you in the ass now.

If I could actually get a decent website to promote myself (with ads of course) I'd do that.
Someone's going to argue CMYK just because you said GIMP now...

Gmail Beta sounds like the application is only partly done, shouldn't they wait until it is out of beta before using it?
Version numbers are arbitrary. It's a tool, and you can use this free tool right now.
No, twatbeard porn.

No, they sell an "experience." A "walled-garden" if you will.

Sounds like Firefox is dying (like BSD).
What you Tolkien about Willis?
Yo dawg, I heard you like Tolkien, so I [DMCA'd]
Do you really think you are going to get a malware author to comment on why they don't write viruses for Macs?
GMAFB.
Is it good data? Maybe not.
Meaning I'm implying it's data, but probably only that. I said no such thing as MACS ARE SECURE HURR.
I actually don't care about this topic, AC asked for data.
And if I really want to, I can spin it the other way with Windows XP:

You might want to look up how often impoverished babies die per year.

Like Chrome does. It just puts a little textbox showing the URL in the bottom.
