Issues (Firefox)
We decided to make Category:Page display a subcategory of Category:Issues (Firefox), and put all other articles in Issues (Firefox) directly.

- Is "Issues" really a good categorization? People looking for info aren't looking at things in the form of Tips/Issues/Configurations, they're probably looking for things based on feature, like Pop up blocking or Extensions. I propose we get rid of the Issues category and move all its articles into feature-based categories under Firefox (or directly under Firefox if it's not related to a feature or there aren't enough issues for that particular feature).--Np 15:10, 21 November 2005 (PST)
- The Issues category has both proponents and detractors; there has been a long and thorough discussion about the categorizations, going back almost a year. (See Rules/Categories, its Discussion page, and the linked archived talk.) It was decided that editors should be expressly encouraged---even mandated---to place any article which is an Issue into both the Issues category /and/ a semantic category such as Extensions, Installation and update, Configuration etc. This instruction is even in the Rules. I don't think there's a problem with the Issues category provided that its articles are also categorized more semantically. --Mozcerize 09:18, 22 November 2005 (PST)
Could also inlude articles about image loading/blocking, etc. (Perhaps the article under "Web annoyances" could come here?)

Other category suggestions
Web annoyances
Could include articles on animated images, popup blocking, flash blocking, etc. (Maybe this category could merge into "Page display"? Though I quite like "Web annoyances myself.)

- Suppress new windows: currently in Firefox
Tabbed browsing
