That's not even one. Guantanamo Bay holds prisoners of war, not common criminals from the civilian criminal justice system. It is entirely legitimate to hold them without trial, that's the way it works.
Ever heard about the Geneva Convention? Here's an excerpt:
Art 103. Judicial investigations relating to a prisoner of war shall be conducted as rapidly as circumstances permit and so that his trial shall take place as soon as possible. A prisoner of war shall not be confined while awaiting trial unless a member of the armed forces of the Detaining Power would be so confined if he were accused of a similar offence, or if it is essential to do so in the interests of national security. In no circumstances shall this confinement exceed three months.
With a fresh profile and no or few extensions, Firefox's single process model is nice. However, with some extensions, Firefox may slow down in a matter of hours or even less depending of usage. That's why I hope that Firefox will switch sooner than later to the multiprocess model. I prefer it to use more memory if it means it won't slow down. And of course, it will still be possible to disable it if we have too little memory.
By the way, don't worry about extensions, they won't go away anytime soon if ever.
I've been using the "New Tab Homepage View" extension for some time now. Because by just setting browser.newtab.url, the search bar from Google didn't get the focus.
When it comes to the F-35, mildly impressive is not an understatement.
Talking about big lie, from what I've read, the F-35 seems more like a marketing victory. It's pretty much not stealthy but still is sold as stealthy like if it was the F-22 little brother. And let's not talk about some of the claims of its effectiveness against projected opponents. The only "mildly impressive" thing about it is its helmet-mounted display system, still being improved. If well designed, it can vastly improve the ergonomics of the F-35 compared to other aircrafts. Much like when the head-up display and the multi-function display were introduced, since the helmet-mounted display system replaces the HUD and could replace the multi-function display for some functions. However, it seems that the F-35 is already lagging in some areas (by example its electro-optical targeting system) when compared to older aircrafts like the Rafale [disclaimer: I'm not French]. And an Achilles heel of the F-35 is the difficulty to upgrade its systems.
Attack drones and unmanned ground combat vehicles are much more impressive, are having and will have a real impact in my opinion.

To name just one.

All Firefox plugins use NPAPI.
By the way, real plugins are found in about:addons in the "Plugins" tab.
NPAPI plugins are not to be confused with Firefox extensions.
The fact that they have both been found in about:addons for some time now is a source of confusion.

They probably have fixed the site, because it didn't work with Firefox 17 here. I just reloaded the page without restarting Firefox and now it works.
