- Networkmanager asks for the wireless network password each time you log on.

Recommendations
- Use HTML5 with Youtube by default since Firefox 5 is HTML5 compatible.
- We may include flashpluginreplacer to do that task, even if gnash does now work well with youtube.
- I would second the use of flashvideoreplacer to force webM (which is an option in the later releases). It is the preferred free format for video. ~SirGrant
- Since we're now using actual Firefox, change the web browser panel icon to the Firefox logo, and the mouse-over text to say Firefox instead of Web Browser.
- That icon is a pointer to the deault browser, and it keeps working if you install another one, so I think it is better that way.
- Also, Firefox was removed and replaced by IceCat.
- Use Software Center instead of the old Add/Remove Programs. I know grvrulz managed to get it running under Trisquel.
- If someone writes a package helper for that, we could add it back to the repository. But since the current app is simpler and works better in terms of accessibility, we will keep it as default in any case.
- Replace Exaile with Clementine as default player, a full featured player and library.
