Both Mozilla browsers support address bar shortcuts. They currently only support one substitution, but it works pretty well for most applications.
To create a shortcut, save a bookmark to the site you wish to have a shortcut to, then edit it and put a <tt>%s</tt> where the query would go and put a name for the shortcut in the shortcut field of its properties. F.ex, a shortcut for the WlugWiki might look like <tt>http://www.wlug.org.nz/%s</tt> and be invoked with the name <tt>wlug</tt>. Then you could enter "<tt>wiki MozillaNotes</tt>" in your address bar to get to this page.

!! Thunderbird hangs while accessing IMAP folders from Courier-IMAP server
I had to set MAXPERIP=5 in /etc/courier/imapd (on a Debian 3.0 server). Otherwise Courier-IMAP defaults to allow only 4 connections per IMAP client and that causes Thunderbird (and Netscape Messenger, IIRC) to stop responding. -- ~FrEd
-- This is actually configured within the mail client (Thunderbird, Netscape Messenger, Mozilla Mail, etc). Go to the Account Settings, then Server Settings, press the 'Advanced' button, and there is field for 'Maximum number of server connections to cache', which is set to 5 by default. -- DanielLawson
+!! Slow File Picker
+Firefox 1.5 comes with a GTK2 file picker that is very slow. You may see a large delay when starting a download or using "Save Image As" or "Save Link As". The delay increases if there are many files in the target directory, and KDE users may see more delay than GNOME users. Until this is fixed, you can recover the old file picker using the instructions [ here | http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=1783468&sid=25b198251a20b570b199705272dbc3a0#1783468 ]
