Enterprise:Wishlist

• From our first call
  • MSI packaging
  • Better pref management

• Addon Security - Permission based Addon / Plugin installation
• Better Addon fingerprinting - Our employees install lots of addons (One of them had 102 Addons..!!) and some of them have lots of memory leaks . Which increases Firefox freeze and slower overall performance. Can we have some info about Addon and its requirements ? Like Some addon demand more memory and processor then others. (Like Bittorrent addon)
• Bundling Plugins with FF. (Like Adobe Reader and Flash Plugin). It will reduce our IT task significantly.
• Easier to setup internal addon server in the company
  • Cache updates and deploy from one internal server
• easy rollout/mass install of addons - some form of 'metapackage.xpi'
  • Does mdc:Multiple Item Packaging cover this?
• blacklist/whitelisting extensions
• plugin finder service server
• Document how to prevent updates
• Group Policies
• Mission Control
• Better documentation of distribution rights for enterprise
• cross domain security (trusted intranet?)
• allow capability.policy APIs to be managed via mission control
• plist - Mac OS X policy????

• Bind autoconfig file directly to executable

• Support http basic authentication with live bookmarks; for secure internal rss feeds...

• Compatibility of Mozilla Firefox with Windows TSE : lower memory usage for each TSE user and possibility to do a global installation/uninstallation of XPI plugins instead of a local installation for each TSE user account (global installation doesn't work, need to do a local installation and then to move local XPI folder towards C:\Program Files\Firefox\extensions).

• Disable new Firefox 8 addon controls and checks: 1) After updating Firefox a window appears and users can enable-disable addons 2) IT can't install addons without user interaction. For company users that's confusing (they don't know about addons), and we don't want they can disable important company extensions.
