= Things that we don't do correctly now =
* With the removal of quicklaunch, we should hide the option in the installer when on Win7. There is no API to add Firefox (or any app) to the taskbar by design.
* The default jumplist will use the most recently used files as opened/saved via the standard file dialog. This is probably not desireable. IE shows history and some other ui actions.
= Things we should consider doing in the future =
* We can show a progress bar on the app icon (details vague). Sounds like a good candidate for the download manager.
* Tab preview like IE?
* Direct2D and DirectWrite look good
