I know you probably meant a *Linux* hints and tips, but a Mozilla one
would be nice, too.
Personally I use Mozilla on all my computers and when I install it there
are a few additional components I usually add to it such as the Calendar
module and AdBlock. It would be nice to see links to "Additional
Components and Features" on the front page.
Good things might be localized versions/language packs, themes, major
components (like the calendar), minor enhancements (AdBlock, Blog
plugins), etc.
Another feature it took me loads of digging to find is that Mozilla does
in fact still have Palm conduits for M$ Windows in the CVS tree. It
seems that entire feature (Palm sync in general) has been brushed to the
wayside as the developers consider it bloat. Great, but what about an
.XPI as an optional component?
Don't get me wrong... I love Mozilla... but its still far from perfect
for the non-geek end-user.
