Start of feature cull for Firefox 4

"Mozilla has confirmed that it has started culling features for version 4.0 of its open source Firefox web browser. According to the Mozilla Platform Meeting Minutes from the 31st of August, the first feature that will be removed is the Account Manager, previously only rated as "at risk".

"The Account Manager feature only graduated from Mozilla Labs at the end of April this year. Discussing the initial news that it would be added to a future release of Firefox, Mozilla Labs developer and Firefox Sync Lead Engineer Dan Mills said that the Account Manager would make it easier "for users to create new accounts with optional randomly generated passwords, and log into and out of them with just a click."
