« Firefox/Feature Brainstorming
Extension packs
- Offer to install extension packs while installing
- Extension package manager (similar in concept to an Apt front end, searchable)
Automatic updates in LINUX
- Allow a non-root user to update (if a root password is needed, ask for it). In the current version, a non-root user doesn't even get notified that an update is available.
- Allow a non-root user to deploy extensions system-wide
Internationalization
- Improve internationalization support in Installer
Uninstaller
- Provide a way to completely remove Firefox from Windows. The Mozilla folders under Application Data and Program files would be removed too. This is a must to be able to fix certain problems.
Automatic installer (RPM and/or MSI)
- Provide an automatic way of installation, supported by Mozilla (support means that mozilla would release the binaries).
