Show & Hide bars

Almost all pop-ups do hide the bars (menu, status, etc). Most of the time this is wanted by the user, so disabling this feature completely in the Javascripts-Settings menu isn't advisable. But sometimes having the menu available in a pop-up is necessary. So integrating a "view bars" command in the right-click menu would be handy.

Minimize to tray

I know there is an extension that does exactly this, but the extension often doesn't get updated if a new Firefox version comes out and so has to be disabled due to incompatibility (as is the case currently with Fx 1.5). Of course it should be optionally, so users can still minimize to taskbar.

Flash blocker

I don't think this should be integrated into Fx as the Adblock extension is a powerful extension that besides other things allows flash blocking. You can either create a filter to automatically block specific (flash-)content or disable any flash by hotkeys (strg+shift+f).

Autocomplete URL

This is one of the very few (or the only?) thing I missed when leaving IE for Fx. While typing in an URL or anything in a textbox Fx should instantly try to complete the string like this:

I only typed "www.mozi" and the rest got added automatically and changes constantly while typing. Best see for yourself if you can get a copy of IE.

Profile manager

For unexperienced users (as others maybe too) finding the profile manager is difficult to impossible as it can only be invoked by passing the 'profilemanager' argument to firefox. I think many windows user don't know how to run a programm other than by clicking on the icon and even passing an argument is maybe too much. So why not add a menu entry that opens the profile manager?
