Use OS X's provided widget set, especially for textarea, button, radio, checkbox and select elements. Native widgets feature spell check among other niceties. This would go a long way towards making Firefox feel more like a "real" OS X application. The current UI does not follow many of the common idioms on the Mac which causes confusion when switching between it and other Apple apps. This could greatly impact adoption on OS X, particularly among less savvy users who don't understand why it's different.
* Still, those should be kept customizable via CSS: only the defaults (unstyled) should be system-widgets.
* Getting there in Fx 3 beta 1. But they look more like gifs put around the old look - corners are often cut of the glow - and also when clicking on a normal text box it doesn't do the glow - this helps alot of mac users find where they're typing and a feature you really need. Also Cmd+F should bring find bar up to the top under tabs, much like Safari 3 does. Also the close button on tabs should be on the left.
