It'd be incredibly useful for some of us; I've been wishing I could get something like this for about a year now. Those of us who use Dvorak wouldn't have to hear as much groaning from friends who want to use their computers...
You can also tell Firefox to keep some elements of the browser in memory after you close FF, so the next time you open FF it starts up faster. Go to about:config and change browser.turbo.enabled to true.
I love BugMeNot, but I fear it's only a matter of time until sites that require registration ping BMN to pull the username for their site so they can disable it... Maybe BMN should include a human test before it gives you account info?
Next time, drop by Emperor Linux, who sells laptops from Dell, IBM, Sharp and Sony, and will install and support Slackware, Debian, SuSE, RedHat, Mandrake, or their own house blend Linux.
I'm living in China right now, and haven't expenienced anything like you mention.
The only evidence of the Great Firewall I've seen is trying to access Google's cache -- after trying to view a cached page, Firefox gives me a "Net reset error" and I won't be able to access anything from Google.com for about an hour.
"Periodically check for updates" -- it won't install anything unless you tell it to.
"Allow websites to install software" -- if it's checked, you can install extensions by clicking on a.xpi link. If it's not checked, you can't install any extensions. Get your browser the way you want it, then uncheck it.
"Select new tabs opened from links" -- just what it says. If you click on a link and have it open in a tab (like middle-clicking a link), this option will select the new tab instead of loading it in the background.
And it's under Edit > Preferences > Advanced.

Maybe Simon should read "Mastering Apostrophes" next.
Bah, Shaw's phonetic alphabet is way more fun than Franklin's crap.
The Marriot in Times Square has had a system pretty similar to this for a while.
Yep, that would be Baudelaire.
Do we really need an article to tell us why video blogs will suck? The phrase "video blogs" isn't enough?
and here are a lot more...
It doesn't seem to like MediaWiki-generated RSS files (e.g. Wikipedia's Recent changes); after hitting the Go button nothing changes...
You a Slackware user too?

Nilss made some OGG files of the dump: "rather a test" and one "recorded in the iPod Recording Studio".

Wouldn't it also mean your alarm clock would wake you up with static instead of your favorite radio station?
No Slackware? Aww...

Actually, that was first said by Baudelaire in "Le Joueur généreux", published 1864.
"...la plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il n'existe pas!"
"...the devil's best trick is to persuade you that he doesn't exist!"

(Oh, and BBC's news site always times out.)
Look in Account Settings -- in "Composition & Addressing" there's a "Compose messages in HTML" checkbox. That what you're looking for?
(Me, I'm trying to find a "always compress local folders on startup" option or something like it...)
open up about:config, set browser.block.target_new_window to true

A thread I stumbled upon at MozillaZine mentioned that these resource issues won't be fixed in 0.9, or even 1.0.
(Not sure if this is gospel truth, but I sure hope not... kill -9 firefox is getting old...)
I used to have something similar, but there were a couple domains I visited that ended in "ad" that would turn up false positives.
