Benjamin Otte (of swfdec) just wrote a pretty good blog post about why mozilla is in general not meshing well with the rest of linux (not specific to this particular problem) <http://www.advogato.org/person/company/diary.html?start=111> For me, the trademark nonsense was the last straw; I use only gecko now, and am I'm looking forward to epiphany with a webkit backend so I can remove all mozilla stuff entirely.

This is a strange position. See if Apple will let you use the "Safari" trademark.
Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 27, 2008 3:21 UTC (Tue) by vmole (guest, #111) [Link] Apple won't let me use the Safari code, either, so I don't the comparison is apt. OTOH, I don't really have a problem with the firefox trademark position. Steve, Debian Iceweasel user.

Fsyncers and curveballs (the Firefox 3 fsync() problem) Posted May 27, 2008 19:24 UTC (Tue) by tzafrir (subscriber, #11501) [Link] Tried Epiphany-browser for a while. Couldn't stand the minimalistic user interface and the strange gnome-style UI choices (I don't use gnome). about:config is still way more user-friednly and intiutive than gconf-editor. Having both to look at is even worse. Knoqueror is generally nice. But insisting on using the "text editor" to oped text pages is annoying. There are a bunch of other small things that make it annoying. So I'm still mostly with iceweasel (occasionally still with the iceape that has a few nicer default, but is horrible with extensions)
