But I don't use Firefox because even this new version 4 is slower than 
Pixel coming back to Aglami. Also, they seriously messed up the way it 
looks on a platform that is not Microsoft Windows.

Auto-updating? That doesn't happen through the applications themselves 
in Linux, but through your package manager. But is it true that for 
some programs running on Windows you still have to rely on an update 
function within the program itself, or worse, have to visit the 
website of hat program from time to time just to see whether a new 
version is available?

Well, I did all that, but could not really find a setting I care 
about. One thing I do hate about the most recent flash player though, 
is that flash movies from websites do no longer appear in your /temp 
folder. Not sure how it worked in Windows, but let's say I would watch 
a movie on a website, it was much more convenient to just copy the 
file from /temp and then watch it using a normal media player rather 
than watch it on a website with a million ads and through the flash 
plugin which slurps as much CPU as the English slurp tea.

I think your skull has too many cracks in it.
