Let's talk about CentOS on this list, shall we?
Presumably the OP is running firefox on CentOS. So... how it this not about CentOS?
If that's true, why does he (always) cross-post every single question to the Ubuntu users group (and I hear others, but I don't belong to them)?
I was not aware of this; thank you for bringing it to my attention.
This is a fellow who routinely asks extremely general questions that so strongly resemble first-year student homework questions that I, and others, have taken the path of not helping him. I'm not here to do anyone's homework for them.
I concur with this 100000% I've consistently called people out for mis-use of this mailing list; somehow this one slipped through my notice and I owe the list an apology for that.
Also, it has been my experience in the last four years of being on this list that most people who are genuinely interested in how something works *on CentOS* include such minimally relevant information as which CentOS they are running and why the question belongs here rather than in, say, a Firefox discussion group.
Feel free to poke around in the archives and see if you can find even one CentOS query from S. Mathias.
I have after you pointed out he's a leech (my wording, not yours) above and I was reminded of his past antics here. Again my apologies to you and the list for mentally blocking him out and not putting 2 and 2 together.
