I don't want to come across as a luddite but seriously stop with the bloat already. Firegerbil seems to have sacrificed efficiency to engage in an execrable arms race with Google. Please break this out into an add-on where it can die a lonely death and concentrate on improving the engine and other core optimisations.
Firefox is getting the sand kicked in it's face on silicon beach performance-wise, there's no denying. I choose to stick with it for general useage and banking purposes because of the plugins (configurability), cross-platform familiarity and security model. But increasingly I find myself switching for some specific uses such as gaming etc. This change in release numbering to match Googles is a fool's errand since it does little to attract new users that empirically see that it's sluggish regardless, but it is doing a great deal to alienate Mozilla's core users for several reasons already cited. Please stop it and revert to the old, trusted model that saw Firefox grab a significant portion of the market share!
From the Wikipedia article: "This was French spacing—a term synonymous with single space sentence spacing.....Double spacing, or placing two spaces between sentences (sometimes referred to as English spacing)......."
Given free choice, I can tell you this: I would sooner have my danglies ripped off and fed to the dogs than adopt another French system.
Elite on the BBC micro was the first game I obsessed about - and I can still indulge my passion gratis on my PC today (http://oolite.org).
I guess I'm not really a 'power' gamer since the games I still like to play are Rogue (albeit in it's Nethack guise), DOOM, Warhammer:Dark Omen and Diablo.
All of these games are 10 years old +, yet I still enjoy playing them. Whilst many modern games offer huge improvements in eye candy, I haven't found any that improve on the fundamental game play. As a bonus, I can play all these games on modest hardware which gives me a pretty high fun per Watt ratio.

I'm sorry to tell you that I hold the patent on that method of fungal growth my friend.
But in the spirit of open source, please fine yourself £200.
Seriously, they have some great biological modules to investigate ;)

Trouble in China followed by the two principals cashing in stock? Something's going down.
Whilst Foxit is an improvement over Adobe's bloatware on Windows, if you want to really go light and lean try an open source alternative.

All these space ships leaving the Earth taking their damned mass with them. What we need is another asteroid to 'land' and restore the equilibrium ;)
