No serious blogging today as I’m busy reading some pretty good stuff produced by my students. So here’s the INQ’s Top ten Firefox browser annoyances just to tide you over.

Update: Ed Bott calls this list “lame”. He’s more than half right: the list leaves off the big stuff (like it’s too darn slow to start up and could render faster, cf. Opera). But it does include three very fair critiques, I think:

1. Couldn’t patches be patches rather than mega-downloads?

2. Thunderbird should be renamed Firefox Mail for marketing reasons, and available as a bundled download so I can give newbies a single URL.

3. And, most, importantly, programs in the suite should share the GRE better.
