|---|
- Developer tools
- Some easy and transparent way say a button or a checkbox in options to toggle development state of the browser. In this state mainly all caching is turned off and errors in formatting and scripts are somehow highlighted.
- In this state, we can have a mark/have a group of extensions enabled. In normal browsing, we can have them disabled.

- (You can take a look at msxsl:script)

- DOM inspector
- make the DOM Inspector an add-on, to save complete reinstallation for those who missed it during setup. If Flock can do it, surely FF can
- improved functionality:
- automatcially refreshes when the page is refreshed
- ability to edit attributes, CSS properties, etc and see live results
- Some way to get feedback on XMLHttpRequest dispatches (which would otherwise be invisible)
|
Bug 339174 - List DOMi on AMO
|
- Current Add-ons
- such as Live HTTPHeaders, Web developer toolbar, Firebug to remain as add-ons, NOT bloating the core browser as previously proposed
|
Consider integrate Firebug 1.0 (this is THE TOOL) at install. Fantastic!!!

- Developer tools
- Asynch-Panel to replace javascript div-update implementations
It would be great to have mechanism to define a panel, where data may be send to a server and its response is rendered into a certain area like:
<asynch-panel refpanel="myPanel" refid="test" />
<asynch-panel name="myPanel" target="http://blabla.de/bsp.jsp">
<input type="text" id="test" value="<%="blabla"%>" />
<input type="submit" />
</asynch-panel>
Of course such panels would allow nested panels and form elements to have maximum control.
I know that such an extension would be only usable for Firefox users, but it would speed up asynch development at leat in closed user groups with certain system requirements.

- CSS Enhancements
- anti-aliased rounded corners
- gradient filled background
|
Check out "HTMLayout CSS support map", they have done gradient filled backgrounds very effectively.
Rounded corners are anti-aliased in Minefield, thanks to the new graphics renderer. There is a screenshot of this, but I cannot locate it.
|
- Simplified Drag and Drop Support
- I know it might be heretical, but it would make life easier for some of us Ajaxy types if Firefox bit the bullet and supported IE style drag and drop.
|
n/a
|
- 'Official Generic' code release
- Offer a 'generic' Firefox tree without trademarked elements or non-free plugins.

|
- DesignMode - MIDAS
- Get all the bugs ironed out of the current Design Mode implementation. FireFox / Mozilla and IE are about neck and neck with features vs. issues and bugs. Haven't tried Opera's solution yet. It would be a great opportunity to really shine in this area.
- Extend DesignMode, make it something really usefull.

- Developer tools
- Have a Graphical Interface that will provide the ability to customise the appearance of the firefox window and to enable/disable or show/hide features (such as Show/Hide Navigation Toolbar, Enable/Disable Fullscreen, Show/Hide Titlebar etc.) and other features such as all the configuration in the Tools | Options as well as in the about:config areas and also having the ability to customise settings in the userChrome.css and userContent.css files through the interface without the need for scripting them.
- Providing the ability to set the width and height of the browser window as loads through the GUI, without having to create a specialised shortcut with special command-line parameters would be a godsend.
Having these abilities through a GUI to totally customise the way firefox appears and displays webpages will destractly improves firefox's ability to compete against Microsoft's HTML Applications, so users/developers can write web applications and have them display through firefox the way they want them to appear.

- Javascript debugger
- Possibility to set Javascrip breakpoints in used scripts;
- Javascript step-by-step tracing ability;

- General select box
- Using OS GUI to render select box is a drawback - hard to apply style for such a component. It could be great to use built-in select box which looks identical on all OSes and accepts all available CSS features;

|
- JavaScript Task bar notifier
- Using the JavaScript to notify the user.
- A simple command like window.notifyuser or window.flashtab or window.flashtaskbar
- Maybe even an option to set how many times it should flash
- On page load, it gives the user the options to "Always Allow", "Allow Once", "Always Deny", and "Deny Once".
- An option in the settings to always deny for every site.
- Might become a W3 standard if used widely.

| General tasks |
|---|
- Create a "unified set of modern web developer tools"
- Add a .NET/Mono-Wrapper to host both the web browser and the WYSIWYG editor (if such a tool exists, I'm not sure about it) in my own .NET Windows Forms applications. Do this in a highly customizable way to control most aspects of how the browser appears. Uwe Keim
