Why FireFox is blocked
Some wanker is all upset about the AdBlock plug-in (never mind that similar plug-ins exist for IE and Safari) and has decided to block all Firefox users. Yeah, good luck with that, asshat.

Tell the Mac Firefox devs what sucks about using Firefox
I really hate to admit that Firefox is the one app that "feels" better on Windows. If they make the spell check thing actually work and allow Firefox to recognize the system-wide proxies, that'll go a *long* way for me.

Bug 330884 - When different users on one system choose to save or not save passwords for sites, any other user can see sites they not only saved passwords for but can also see what other users have been saving/never saving passwords for.
