This is a wishlist of features for Firefox n/Mozilla 2:
Core Capabilities
- Extension dependency (warn or retrieve at install time, hierarchical)
- Security sandbox for capabilities (when you add - java security model)
- Out of process plugins
Firefox capabilities
- Need UI for ability to stop searching for addon updates
- Finish UI work for extension dependencies
- No browser restart required (for addons, themes, plugins). Dynamic loading and unloading
- Quick theme preview/switching (no restart required)
- Install for all users versus current user
- Runtime characteristics - mem usage, performance impact?
- Context-specific add-ons discoverability
- Native support for add-on locale packs - bug 285848
Website Integration
- Retrieve GUIDs that you have installed
- This site wants to get a list of your addons
- Check if GUID is installed with a whitelist
- Addon sync service (addons backup/restore to/from website). {Can be more general Fx profile sync service}
Update Channels
- Ability separate release level and sandbox (separate update vector for extensions) [no update available for sandbox'ed items]. Similar to nightly testing channel (custom AUS channel for sandbox or other)
- Subscribe to different AMO channels (like clearance levels) - perhaps that's too much
