Aaron, I feel your frustration, but it certainly is not something done intentionally to frustrate you. Take a deep breath. Inhale through your nostrils and let it out your mouth. <grins> Yoga calming exercise to balance your chakras. It works. It puts oxygen to the brain quickly and calms the mind with clearer thought. Now, I've taken up for your cause to a point. I have ranted a bit about "teamwork" and the need for all of us to "perspective take" when someone goes off wacko with frustration. It is not uncommon, yet one (or at the extreme, two) post of frustration is usually enough. I have been wondering for the longest time why the feature in Firefox you mentioned was missing. Someone somewhere surely turned it off. Maybe they just made a mistake or a decision based on a best-guess. I have no clue. But, the answer to remedy it has arrived, like all good things do, on their time schedule not ours. The entire Universe operates in this fashion, although I admit it is maddening to me, just about every time. :) Fedora -is- a community driven project and, like all communities, if you want to politic consider becoming a politician. (gentle tones here) I myself don't have the time nor the need for that kind of responsibility... nor even the talent, to be honest. So, I seek a level of Power and Authority that equals the degree of Responsibility I have to invest, which is pretty much zilch. Ah! Now the World spins in greased grooves ...for me. Nor can I demand anything, as I am not responsible for much other than my little bit of participation on the list. That's my two cents worth, I hope you feel where I'm coming from. Yoga does work!
