"Hypothetically speaking, you might want to have it to see if someone influenced the study."
Well, such general fishing expeditions lead down a slippery slope. If there is not reasonable doubt, you CANNOT ask for information in hope of finding if someone influenced something.
Will you agree to a complete search of your home and your computer and bugging of your car, home and family just to see if you are doing something illegally even if there no valid doubt that indeed you are?
People have a right to privacy if there is no reasonable doubt that they are upto a crime and I don't think asking for such personal financial records is justified at all in this scenario.

If you read the comments yesterday you would have found that mozilla does staggered updates to ease the pressure on their servers and hence the auto update feature will be working in a day or two.
I think this is a good move and bumping the version numbers will help differentiate it better than a really minor point release.
There is no reason that open source software should follow really miserly versioning while commercial software keeps bumping version numbers big time to increase upgrades.
People take their valuable time to submit things and maybe do it in a hurry and not take much care since 99% of submissions are rejected. Then there's the problem of non-native users of english.

Am I the only one who read it as mooification or mofoiciation?
Please, you even just copy paste into MS word before putting the article into the front page to show the spelling errors.
Please.
99.99% of people out there never rip content. As these measures usually do, they inconvenience them by requiring them to buy more costly monitors or risk degradation and not allowing legit use.
But all it takes is ONE person with the requisite special equipment or a degree in EE to break the DRM once and the copy is out on net for ALL to download. They should give it up already.

You don't need *personal* financial information to find who funded the study.
What's the liability of the government for building the roads on which the drug transport takes place?
I would suggest opera as a better choice.

because fuel cells are vaporware?
When are fuel cells coming? We've been hearing about them since ages. It's about time they appear.
