[digg=http://digg.com/software/Firefox_URL_Fixer] Without a doubt, typos are annoying! Even more so when the typo occurs in the Fx address bar.

[digg=http://digg.com/software/Firefox_Tab_Groups] Ever find your tab bar getting congested? Too many open tabs?

The latest (2007/02/22) from the Mozilla Webdev Blog: “As morgamic wrote on Friday, the Remora team have all had a long 9 days trying to get the new version of AMO out the door and make all its improvements available to our users.
