Doing a ctrl-s to save a page and then middle clicking to change the
filename doesn't work. If I highlight text then ctrl-c, I can ctrl-v
in the dialog fine. Both methods worked fine in sarge. I've tried
starting in safe-mode and the problem is still there and the config
value middlemouse.paste is set to true. Anyone else seeing this
problem?

The 2.0+ versions are quite a bit different than the 1.5 version. There
already have been many complaints about the interface changes. Check
the archives.

Basically it boils down to firefox/iceweasel doesn't follow the linux
standards because it is designed as a windows program. One poster
pointed out that if the GNU/Linux version can place the configuration
options in a different place, it can adhere to standard in interface,
yet it doesn't. It seems we need to mass complain to the mozilla project.

Thanks I must have missed those discussions so I'll look for them. I
wonder if mass complaints would work since I remember firefox devs on
slashdot saying how much they dislike linux and love windows.

I haven't used Konqueror lately. How's it doing? Or Galeon?

I would miss my plugins (pointlessly renamed "Add-ons" in 2.0), though. Is
there any move to make FireFox plugins work in either?

I must have missed that. It seems strange that they stress cross
compatibility on their site. Mozilla I mean. There are even articles on
how one creates code that can compile on multiple systems.

I find myself using konqueror more and more. I just wish the
were compatible so that when I hit a web site with one browser, the
other one knows about it because the is there.

Alas, each browser has it's own place where it stores . I
suppose if I _really_ wanted to I could download the source code and
hardcode my place for the into the browsers and recompile, but
that would be a pain because each time one of the programs updates, it
would either wipe out my changes, or I have to put the package on hold,
which means no more security updates.

I suppose I'll just have to live with it, or stop using more than one
browser. The problem with that is, some pages don't look right on one
browser or the other. Sometimes you get completely different pages
because the webmaster caters to a specific browser. Maybe I should just
set Konqueror to tell every site that it's Mozilla.

At least Konqueror is smart enough to read my Mozilla favorites and plugins.

Yes. In Konqueror, you go to Settings -> Configure Konqueror then click
on Plugins. The window will open so that you can tell it where to
search for them. Just click on the 'Scan for Plugins' button as the
defaults will look in the right directories.
