In my personal opinion, the release notes belong in "help" or something
like that (even a shortcut on the standard desktop would be more
intuitive) - not as the standard homepage in every browser.
Why should loading the Google homepage be more correct that showing the
release notes for the operating system I've just installed?
Google has nothing to do with Firefox, except that it's a search engine
that I might use with it. People that want to use Google can type
something in the search box.
This confuses people, and addmitedly, the release notes aren't
that much
usefull to the users as the standard homepage - especially in firefox,
Who does it confuse? Why were they confused?
where the standard is:
http://www.google.no/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:nb-NO:o...
which is simply a google search with some hints on using firefox etc.
