[Web4lib] Browser ennui

[Moore, John D.]

My problem with Firefox is not ennui, but a single pathetic lament: Why
is the official 64-bit version of Firefox taking so long?

While I'm waiting, I'm pondering Pascal's jottings on ennui: 

"There is nothing so insupportable to man as to be in entire repose,
without passion, occupation, amusement, or application. Then it is that
he feels his own nothingness, isolation, insignificance, dependent
nature, powerless, emptiness. Immediately there issue from his soul
ennui, sadness, chagrin, vexation, despair."  --Blaise Pascal
