Comments on: Areas for Mozilla Labs to investigate http://mozillalabs.com/blog/2006/08/areas-for-mozilla-labs-to-investigate/ Just another mozillalabs.com weblog Tue, 25 Jan 2011 12:12:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Vincent http://mozillalabs.com/blog/2006/08/areas-for-mozilla-labs-to-investigate/comment-page-1/#comment-59 Vincent Sun, 26 Nov 2006 09:42:52 +0000 http://mozillalabs.com/2006/08/areas-for-mozilla-labs-to-investigate/#comment-59 Instead of inserting the new line in the comment, it submitted my survey :( What I wanted to say: Features that now are extensions: - Download statusbar - Ctrl+Tab Preview - Resurrect Pages And a possibility to back up and restore your extensions (like Firefox Extension Backup Extension, but rather all extensions in one file, and if I export them in Linux, I only want to import Windows-compatible extensions when on Windows). Instead of inserting the new line in the comment, it submitted my survey :(

What I wanted to say:

Features that now are extensions:
– Download statusbar
– Ctrl+Tab Preview
– Resurrect Pages

And a possibility to back up and restore your extensions (like Firefox Extension Backup Extension, but rather all extensions in one file, and if I export them in Linux, I only want to import Windows-compatible extensions when on Windows).

The things in the survey can all be handled by extensions. The only other area I think desperately needs adding to in Fx is tabbed browsing now that TBE will not work with 2.0. TBE should have been built into Fx long ago and really desperately needs to be incorporated now. Tabbed browsing without TBE is pathetic. I began using Mozilla many years ago because of TBE and it is the reason I still use Fx and SeaMonkey. Without it Fx is not that great of a browser. There needs to be great improvement in tabbed browsing in Fx otherwise TBE lovers will not upgrade to 2.0. Other extensions for tabbed browsing are greatly lacking.

I love mouse gestures too, it's nice having them by default in Opera, for some reason it feels a bit smoother.

I saw Firefox 2.0 way - integrate with Bloglines and other such readers. This idea really makes me laugh. You want to develop and make Firefox better or not? Where is incredibly important session saver? Today, Firefox is a Gecko wrapper with "Back" button and spectacular tab drag-and-drop feature, which was a flagship change in 1.5 version. You want some more? Don't count on Mozilla, rather on community. But I want have a useful browser out-of-box, I don't want install crappy and buggy extensions. Thunderbird situation is worse. Geez, what are you doing there, in Mozilla? Where are multiple signatures? Please! 2 years have a Bugzilla request for more advanced signature inserting options! If you say something about security and testing, I really want to stub you into mouth. Mozilla products development is amazingly slow!!!

Or would that be something that would have to be done by your survey plugin? It makes selecting them much easier and nicer. Could you put the options in label elements so that the text is clickable?

Send Page in email.. NOT LINK, Page! That feature alone is sorely lacking in Firefox... 2. Tab Preview 3. Some pages print great in IE and IE 7, all I get is a lot of blank pages in FF Firefox needs…

Like using KDE open/save dialogs, KDE looks, proper session management (save application status on logout and restore fully on login as if nothing has happened).

Categories should be: Web Site Handling. Privacy. User Control. "Taking the web back" isn't about time we start a new slogan "Give the net back to the user" concentrate the Lab work on putting the user back in the driving seat instead of letting the web sites control us. Parenental Control, Ad handling, Improve on Secure/Insecure handling, Cooke, Privacy and many other areas where only a lot of knowglede lets you understand whats going on.
