My homepage is set of www.google.com/ig, so this is pretty annoying

  • I've received an email about firefox flicks from "Spread Firefox team"
  • Immediately, I log into spreadfirefox.com to uncheck any checkboxes I might have accidentaly checked allowing them to spam me. Unfortunately, there are none.
  • The 'unsubscribe' link in the mail is pointing to "mozilla.cmail1.com". How reassuring!
  • There's no way to cancel my spreadfirefox account. (Or atleast I can't spot one from "My Account")
  • Action Items: Let Gmail know this was spam, and blog about this hoping someone would care.

During Firefox 1.0 timeframe, I had downloaded each one of 1.0 - 1.0.7. However, the update from 1.5 to 1.5.0.1 was flawless.

This version is compatible with Firefox 1.5, and sports a new trick: it blocks ajax. This means you can use adblock to disable Gmail ads. Here's the filter you can use: 
/mail.google.com\/mail\/.*view=ad/

  • Why is the default toolbar setup so crappy?
  • After using for sometime, address bar below tabs actually looks good.
  • How do I move Bookmarks onto menu-bar?
  • Back and Forward are really zippy - faster than firefox
  • Delete private data actually closes all-tabs!
  • No adblock, of course.
  • No NTLM Authentication - that kills it
  • M2 totally sucks.Which moron claimed on mozillazine forums that Gmail got some of its ideas from M2?
