Profiles
I think we should include a reference in the text to Profiles - we have it as a category. However, I am confused about the future of Profiles, see here (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=374519).
I don't see how more than one user can use the same installation without profiles - and you have to install Firefox before you can create Profiles! --Joe1011010 12:56, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Specific suggestions for reorganization
Moved from [1] and edited for context. For background information see that section and surrounding sections.
I don't think it is at all obvious that some of those entries are subject headings and that others are single entries. If there are one or two special articles that should not be in categories, those could go above the categories. The title "Articles in category Firefox" is superfluous and misleading (doesn't show all articles), so it should be eliminated. If there are no single articles, then the title "Subcategories" is also superfluous.
Looking at the subject (i.e., "category") titles: "Configuration" could be "Configuring Firefox". "Location bar" is too specific. I suggest "Menus and controls (Firefox)". "Visual customizaton (Firefox)" could be "Customizing Firefox" or "Customization (Firefox)", which is more general and has the advantage of starting with "C".
Looking at the list of articles, "Accessibility" is listed as both a category and a single article. "Autoconnect" should be "Autoconnecting" (a noun, not a verb), and it could be in a new? category on connecting to the Internet (there may be other articles that belong there). "Blocking sites" should go in "Privacy and security". "Codenames" should be "Mozilla codenames" or better yet, "Version numbers", and maybe it could go in a new category for Mozilla stuff, if there happens to be enough other stuff for this category. "Command line arguments" and "Creating a shortcut to a Website" could be part of "Installing, updating, and running Firefox". "Firefox:Send:Link" ??? could be "Spreading Firefox". "Increasing startup speed" belongs in both "Issues" and "Customizing Firefox" (maybe it should be split). "Menu differences..." could go into category "Menus and controls (Firefox)". Etc. If there really are minor subjects that don't fit anywhere, they could go temporarily into a new category "Other subjects".
