« 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

Automatic installer (RPM and/or MSI)

  • Provide an automatic way of installation, supported by Mozilla (support means that mozilla would release the binaries).
