Why on earth cant there be a link to http://
Also why is the size of the browser so small width wise. Bizarre.

I second this, UF is a great support resource. Also freenode webchat: http://

Hi there.
It would definitely be worth it to include a link to UbuntuForums.
Anyone else think that it's strange that in the installer there are all references to ubuntu.com, but in the initial install, the firefox bookmarks point to ubuntulinux.com?
Speaking of 10.04 by the way, not 10.10.

Many other distros do this, why not Ubuntu?
Andy C. (ndc) wrote : | #11 |
+1 on this. Ubuntu aims to be newbie-friendly, right?
So, why don’t we promote some other free & open projects there that are useful and not related to Ubuntu?
I’ve been gathering some of them at http://

And maybe also some non-digital:

When they already have Ubuntu, we should help them dive deeper into free culture. I know it took long for me to get to know all these massively useful sites.
On the current bookmarks:
Why ubuntulinux.org and not just call it ubuntu.com like it is everywhere else?
Launchpad answers should definitely stay! The direct connection to everything else (including frequently asked questions) makes it much easier to operate than a forum.
I’m not entirely sure on Debian. If that is there, GNOME should be too. On the other hand, it is not useful for most.

Agreed that this could be updated, but as zekopeko mentions no need to promote private blogs.

Yes, we should definitely get this one into the bookmarks. But what
else? Can someone please decide the proper list so that a developer can
make the change?

What about this selection? Some about Ubuntu + problem solving but also some more general:

They should be visibly placed in the bookmarks toolbar.

I would love to see ubuntuforums added to the default bookmarks in Firefox.
philinux (philcb) wrote : | #18 |
Can we make some progress on this one?
philinux (philcb) wrote : | #19 |
Ok here's a patch. I've used the livecd to add askubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org to the default bookmarks under the folder "Ubuntu and Free Software links". I've then exported this to a html file which is attached.
This belongs in the archive /usr/lib/

How about adding something like http://
I think https:/
I'm going to downgrade the firefox (Ubuntu) task from triaged to confirmed until we can get a decision on what the new bookmarks should be. There have been a number of suggestions made already, including ubuntuformums and askubuntu, but I think we need someone to say 'These are the ones we want to include'.

Having Askubuntu.com and ubuntuforums.org would be great!

Still needs updating in Xenial.
Obviously related to bug #1213354 (Ubuntu Forums) and bug #132274 (Ubuntu One)

With all the changes going on in Ubuntu and new people coming in it really is time to update the default bookmarks.
This seem like a good list that include solutions for common problems that people have on a first time install.
