• Application launcher in Firefox

    Upon testing one of my pages which has a link to launch external pages through the browser, I've noticed that the application launcher in Firefox is a bit unintuitive. It looks like it's asking you to provide it an application to link to, and not as much like it "knows what it is doing". It doesn't seem like this dialog is useful, anyway. I bet it's more of an annoyance to the average user, and more advanced users know to make these sort of changes in the settings panel. A warning that the link is about to launch an external application might be okay, but an entire "open with" dialog seems a bit unnecessary for protocols that are already known by Firefox.

  • I realize that they're awesome...

    I realize that they're awesome... But Google have done something retarded. Why are they forcing users to install Google Chrome into their "Local Settings\Application Data" directory? Are they really that stupid? It's called "Local Settings" for a reason. That's where you put settings. Not applications. Furthermore, it wastes space when multiple users want to do it - and causes other major issues. I'm mostly annoyed by the fact that I can't even copy the "Application" directory over to "C:\Program Files" and run it. For some reason, Chrome cries when I try this. If this isn't fixed before Google Chrome leaves beta stages, I've finally found something wrong with a project of Google's. That's definitely a first.

  • IceWeasel

    IceWeasel is crap. Who cares if the icons in Firefox arn't open source? Nobody. I'd much prefer that, than getting bugfixes later. When I type `apt-get install firefox`, you should install fucking firefox. If I wanted iceweasel, I'd type `apt-get install shitty-browser`.
