Do the devs look at this NG?  While I wouldn't classify the responses 
here as a "groundswell", they do indeed reflect that some experienced 
users think that FF is going down the wrong path.

While I wouldn't put myself in the category of "experienced user", 
though I do know my way around an OS (Windows and Ubuntu) and browsers, 
I do in fact agree with all the comments that have been made here.

Is there a way we can communicate these concerns to the devs (not that 
they would listen, but at least if FF goes south, we can say "I told you 
so")
