Firefox/Feature Brainstorming:Installer

« 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

- okay first this is just plain stupid, the writer doesn't have a clue about linux.

- second this has nothing to do with ff and everything to do with "LINUX BEING A TRUE MULTIUSER OS". this will never happen because it CANNOT happen so stop asking for this dipshit idea and learn WHY it cannot happen. mmmmkay?

- third, installing/running firefox from your local home directory is already possible and trivial. extract the tar and run the binary.

- what firefox needs is a magic extension that can autodetect dipshits and stop them from actually publishing retarded ideas to the internet.

• • edit ** ... and everything to do with

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).
