Matthew, I raised these as questions, and I was instructed to report a
bug. I will stop ping-ponging now, please signal this message yourself
to whoever you think may be interested, it will be a big favour to me,
since I can't keep with this treasure hunt, I am about to fly for yet
another international working trip. I will do one last attempt, CC
mattew nuzum right now.

Mattew, please read the bug report, and eventually take a look to the
links I post. I am tired of repeating the same thing again and again, I
hope you'll understand.

I asked the questions one year ago and five days ago on the
ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list, but I never got any constructive
reply. You can see for yourself.

I was directed to the ubuntu-mozilla-team and got no reply. If this is
really the result of a single-man effort, and there is nobody else that
knows about it, then all my concerns are wrong, just let us fix the bug.

The first part of this is in fact a bug and should be fixed: the default
page should include a short explanation and a link for what the user is
doing. Being sure that the user understands the process is better than
risking to trick unaware users into doing something they may not like.
Hopefully, the link should point to a place where ALL the concerns
expressed here are answered, because this is free software and this is
the mood of some of your users. The other option is to just wait and let
us go away, but that will confirm our concerns.

Here are the links to where I asked this as a question. Before changing
your mood, keep in mind that I have been waiting for one year, and that
I commented on the other bug you mentioned, one month ago, without
getting a reply. I really want to be collaborative but this needs to be
addressed. I have met other people who thinks the same.
