- Use proxy in system preferences
Many OS X users use Quicksilver to change network locations, e.g. home and work. If Firefox detected the proxy set in network locations then the user would not have to manually change proxy settings in Firefox each time the network location is changed. Similary in Windows, it could detect the Internet Options proxy. This "Use System Proxy" setting could be a 4th choice in the connections settings dialog along side Direct, Auto-Detect and Manual.

- Using multiple proxies
Proxy settings should be saved in profiles, so that when changing network (more and more common with laptops and various wlan accesses) settings can be changed in a fast way
| bug 43429. SwitchProxy adds a status bar menu to quickly switch between proxies.

- Save As... PostScript, PDF, ODF, XPS
Early Netscape allowed the user to "save as" a web page as postscript, HTML, PDF, etc. These days, we seem to be only allowed to "save as" in HTML or text. This then means we have to use time-consuming external programs instead of it being a quick and easy drop-down selection. Please give us back our old "save as" options and also include a new ODF "save as" option.
