Hello, I'm posting this about bug 78509 <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78509> Essentially, this bug is for the fact that if you try to create a shortcut on your computer to web sites with ":, /, or \" in their title, mozilla just shows an error message.
For me, this is the biggest usability problem of mozilla. Yes it's a small deal, so I'm saying the rest of mozilla is really a great experience for my everyday browsing. This error, however, is the only reason I ever have to boot up internet explorer nowadays. I also think that an error such as this should be fixed before the mozilla 1.0 release, and as of now it has a 1.0.1 target milestone. I am writing this post to A)see if anyone else cares about this feature, and if so B)ask them to express their concern over the bug. So far I have posted several nag comments to the bug, and I really don't want to continue. The bug is assigned to pchen, and I know he's got a ton of other stuff assigned to him, so I don't want to draw more attention to this bug unless anyone else cares. Why should you care? Do you ever have to sort through and keep track of a ton of web pages, yet you don't want to bookmark each one? I personally have been using the shortcut dragging feature to keep track of dozens of pages covering job postings, bugzilla bugs, and apartment listings. If a certain site (www.homestore.com)includes a ":" in each of it's page titles, then I have to use internet explorer for all of my apartment searching and record keeping. As things stand, it'll be like this until after mozilla 1.0 is released, and I think that's just too long to wait.
