This is really for you if you're a software developer

I don't know what it is about my mom and my boyfriend, but somehow whenever I try using their computers it always seems some new program has installed itself on their machines, changed their default search pages, and caused other unwanted chaos with their web browsers. What do you two do? It's a hostile world. Be careful what you look at and click on!

Anyway, the real point of this post was that I wanted to complain about the way Firefox has it's 'change your home page' action set up. I just tried to recover my boyfriend's computer from the clutches of some auto-installing program and toolbar ad-on that hijacked his default homepage, and had to look up on Google how to manually change the homepage because I couldn't figure it out and got annoyed. And I consider myself a fast learner and can usually intuitively figure things like this out. I also basically breathe this "web stuff" because I'm a student and will eventually be a professional web designer/developer. So,

DEAR MOZILLA: DRAGGING SOME ICON NEXT TO A WEB ADDRESS IN THE FIREFOX URL BAR TO ANOTHER BUTTON IN THE BROWSER WINDOW IS THE OPPOSITE OF INTUITIVE. How the heck should I know that I can click and then drag one button, and then place it on something else? At least on a desktop computer and not a mobile device, where input is finger based and dragging is a little more expected. You should be kicked for this. At least in lieu of another method to reset the homepage at will. Like, you know, that involves right clicking. Or the browser's menu. Or, even better, ALL THREE.

And while I'm at it, dear generalized developers:
Whenever things, interfaces specifically, get simplified too much...  Make sure that "advanced" users can still access "advanced" features in a more "non-simplified" way. We're still out here. And we get pissy. Especially when "simplification" doesn't work as intended. Thank you.
