After reading people talking about colors they were comfortable reading on
their screen on London.pm today[0], I decided I wanted the default
background color of web pages in my browser to be some very light shade of
grey (like #f3f3f3 or some such), that's almost white but not quite, just to
take the edge off a little bit. So I took at look at Mozilla Firebird's
"Fonts and Colors" preferences dialog, and what do I get to choose from? A
seven-by-ten grid of inoffensive colors, none of which is a light enough
shade of grey. No color picker of any fucking kind at all, because I guess
they didn't think that maybe their USERS might like to PICK THEIR OWN
COLORS. Gah.

(1 minute later) OK, I was motivated enough this time to get a Bugzilla
account. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242840
