WhyTF would anyone want an inbuilt PDF viewer?

A browser is supposed to display whatever I click on - any file, any format. If it can play sound, play video, display photographs, display text... then why not a PDF? Seems strange to have one document format that it *cannot* display, and requires an external application to render.

Or did you want the browser to call an external program for things like .gif, .mov, .aiff - anything that is not plain old .html ??

Firefox already has password tools - it can optionally store the password from different sites. It should be simple to extend this to warn the user if any two passwords are the same.

Firefox uses *local* storage for this, on the user's computer, so it will be more secure than any remotely-hosted solution.

When people hear the words "performance art", they imagine a filthy, flea-infested guy with an MFA, fellating an chimp in the middle of times square while his acolytes hand people burning dollar bills and chant about hegemonic paternalism.

Yes, that is what Unity is like. Good comparison.
