Also of note is that the rate of commercial take-up of Firefox will be limited whilst there is not a basic MSI installer package available from the main/official site. I spent the best part of a day trying to get a lucid explanation of how to deploy Firefox to about 150 PCs in a Windows domain. Add to that the explanation of installation switches here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Installer:Command_Line_Arguments
is utterly incorrect reference the uninstall process and it was a most frustrating experience at every turn. There is a link to a third party MSI installer from Frontmotion, but at 14MB, 5MB over the size of the executable installer, I was most concerned at what else was included and also the re-branding undertaken.
I also realize this may not be the proper place for this post, but please re-raise these issues amongst the development team if you are going to edit it out.
Thanks all, Adam.

The one thing I find is I can't use Firefox to go to my Yahoo! accounts because it always crashes. Now I would reccomend a reporting system, much like IE, and I think this is an area that needs to be looked. Is there something in Yahoo! Mail that causes Firefox to fail?

-> I think it's on your computer because, yes, we're receiving such reports specially from yahoo but the major reason on why they're experiencing it is due to their computer having too much to load at the same time. Yahoo has a lot of details to load that requires a pretty good desktop or a fast internet connection

When is this page going to be updated? I came by hoping there'd be some info on the new session saver stuff (which isn't linked), but I noticed the Places info is all still under FF2, and there's a lot of unnecessary info tucked around too (FF1.5 release party planning?). I'd start changing things myself, but I feel a little unqualified.

== HyperSonic (a Firefox Aurora 5.0 clone) ==
 
You found HyperSonic (a Firefox Aurora 5.0 clone: compatible with Unicode and Michael Hardy has released).
 
Michael Hardy isn't a Debian developer.
 
It is located here at '''internetwebbrowser.net'''. In Mozilla's blog about work, you want to write a blog post about HyperSonic.


== Release date ==
Your Mozilla Bugzilla account (seotaewong40) wants to be unbanned. In addition to that, the HyperSonic license agreement should have the diacritic under E to be removed (ÉULA becomes EULA).
The release date for Firefox 3.6 RC1 says it was released January 8th, 2009 instead of January 8th, 2010. This should be changed immediately if possible or at least fixed in the next release candidate or final.
