For some inexplicable reason FF tabs delete themselves sometimes and I'd just as soon have that controllable. "Pinning" just makes them invisible, which seems wrong on several levels.

Sometimes xscreensaver doesn't start. Same with xdaliclock. Sometimes I can't see reCaptchas. I can't leave TB folders in the 'unread' state; when I leave TB it goes back to the not-unread state. I put it down to developers considering only apple and windows and ignoring the way linux does things until somebody hits them with a cluebat -- and even then they just do a quick-and-dirty fix because Hey, it's only a few users...

command not found.
BUT I have lshw..
Asus P8Z68-V PRO motherboard
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
DIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1067 MHz (0.9 ns) (16GB total)
NVIDIA GT218 [GeForce 210] with NVIDIA driver
Slackware 14.2, fvwm95 because that was the most completely configured
WM when I started with linux somewhere between 1995 and 2000. There's a
lot of things that just don't work with a system this old, but the idea
of reconfiguring a new system that does everything I want is too painful
to consider. Hubby has tried several times to update a partition to
slack 15, but it never works. If necessary I'll switch to whatever
linux my son uses, but I'm not holding my breath.
Built from Fry's components Aug 13 2011! We built 3 identical machines.
Mine is the only one still alive.
