+<PRE>Marc Par&#233; a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Usually the more the extensions you have the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> heavier/more-ram/more-startup-time firefox gets (and the last time I
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> used AdBlock Plus, about 10 months ago, it leaked memory...). Also
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> it's not useful all over, I think I can do without it if I have
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> noscript installed, (now what would you say if noscript is installed
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> by default?).
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> IMHO, I think no extra extensions should be installed by default, the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> user should make a choice of which ones he wants (and installing any
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> extensions by default without the &quot;user's consent&quot; isn't ideal too, if
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> it's going to impact the performance of Firefox).
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I agree, I think the user should be in charge of the extensions. How
+</I>&gt;<i> many of us have heard people say that &quot;Hey, I never installed the
+</I>&gt;<i> Yahoo! bar!&quot; or &quot;Hey, I never installed Safari!&quot;. Users are
+</I>&gt;<i> knowledgeable enough to make up their own mind on extensions. Browser
+</I>&gt;<i> use is generally a user specific preference.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> If Mageia is going to focus more on being a good KDE distro, then it
+</I>&gt;<i> should go along with the defaults with KDE -- Kmail/Konqueror. But, if
+</I>&gt;<i> Mageia is to decide on a &quot;flagship&quot; choice of browser, I think that
+</I>&gt;<i> most computer users these days know of Firefox and this would be a
+</I>&gt;<i> good/safe choice to use as a Mageia endorsed/default browser, but
+</I>&gt;<i> without any extensions pre-installed.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The user can tailor his preferences later on depending on his/her
+</I>&gt;<i> browser choice.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Marc
+</I>Personally I use Gnome, so I would rather that Mageia would not become
+too KDE-centric. (Actually I use Mozilla Seamonkey instead of Mozilla
+Firefox, but that is another question.)
+If Kmail/Konqueror is installed by default, then the enormous KDE
+libraries must be installed, all of which I (or any other Gnome user)
+will have to remove.
+If there is a default browser installed, is much better if it is
+KDE/Gnome agnostic, like Firefox.
+(i.e. does not require either KDE or Gnome.)
+
+As far as extensions go, I agree to leave that to the user. With
+Mozilla (Firefox or Thunderbird or Seamonkey), any extension can be
+installed from inside the program, with a few clics. Even saves making
+any RPMs for the extensions.
+(I would make localisation extensions an exception.)
