Hello,
I'm using QUICK-W20-COPY2, a quickstation running Debathena Precise. I
wanted to point out that since the bugme countdown is immobile, Firefox
usability is significantly impaired when maximized (which it seems to want
to do by default).
Specifically, the first part of the address bar is covered (making it hard
to know how much of the address one has selected; making it impossible to
know what the first few characters of the URI are). Additionally, since
the timer is also covering the window buttons (since they are on the left
these days), it isn't immediately apparent how to unmaximize the window.
Some of these issues may have been present on earlier versions, but I just
noticed these today when using the quickstation.
Thanks for your attention-
tjs
