I get at least 4 or 5 crashes daily on older hardware. But even on new modern hardware i still get 1 or 2 crashes.

As everyone knows, the crashes happen the most when viewing heavy flash (be it fullscreen video, flash game, a few big flash ads on websites, etc.). It specifically happens when changing sites (visible crash) or when closing the browser (invisible crash, but FF does not free up the memory)

While i have a "killall firefox-bin" launcher icon on my desktop, sometimes my system becomes so unresponsive because it stays in memory and i have to try to reboot or force a system shutdown.

Anyway this can be easily fixed (when implemented) if the process is killed after a crash, freeing up the memory and making the system usable again.

sadly i had to install the windows version of Firefox + flash in Wine to avoid the crashing.... so why do we have a buggy linux version that won't even detect the crash and free up the mem??

With this feature the icons should always be in good contrast and fast reachable.

I tried to make an example but I'm not good with graphics program so if someone could make an example , it will be nice.

Maybe a page with random ideas?

And remove the grades if not specifically requested, since it will affect peoples voting.

Reason: Most people use the right hand to handle the mouse or trackball. Since both existing Return keys on a PC keyboard are on the right hand side only, you have to let go the mouse much too often to accept the defaults in on-screen menus, for example. Another return key on the left side would improve typing speed.

Of course Ubuntu cannot change the writing on the Caps Lock key.

Maybe, the next public computers could be used with (any kind of) simple memory stick.

-- send petition to major game developers.
-- send petition to Governments and Major Businesses for more support.
-- send petition to Colleges and Universities to include more education programs and classes on Linux.

Linux needs a group of individuals advocating that Linux is big business.

It would be useful to have a list of most cited words in the ides : firefox, cpu, power, users, interface, etc...

In first, it'll give an idea of softwares, or processes, or concept, etc. that often come back.

In second time, we'll have an overview of what are the concepts most cited by the users, and where we have to place our efforts.

Epiphany is a very simple browser, more conforming to the spirit of GNOME, which lacks a lot of the features of Firefox. However, I think most people will probably not need Firefox' extra features and plugins. Those who do need Firefox could easily download it when Epiphany becomes the default webbrowser included out-of-the-box in Ubuntu. Ubuntu should aim for consistency, and Epiphany certainly is a better candidate than Firefox if consistency is the goal.

Epiphany currently uses the Gecko-engine for rendering, but will probably feature WebKit - http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany/WebKit - soon. WebKit would probably do a better job than Gecko.

Because somehow Ubuntu brainstorm says the Blueprint URL I gave isn't valid, I give it here in the text: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/epiphany-default-browser

"Your ideas for Ubuntu interests us."

It should be:

"Your ideas for Ubuntu interest us."

Just a heads-up.
