Add your ideas for things we should look at to make Firefox feel faster below: | Add your ideas for things we should look at to make Firefox feel faster below: | ||
* Implement the OS X scrolling model for our Windows and Linux builds of Firefox ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462809 bug 462809]) | |||
* Use a real time strategy game style scroll box in the content area, so you can quickly move around a page just by moving the mouse | |||
* Increase the amount of visual change when loading a slow page, for instance transition to a large water mark style throbber that appears in the center of the content area if no information has loaded yet | |||
* Keep firefox running for a moment after close for the set of users who close and reopen the application in order to do a search (because the start page has a search field, and they don't know about the search bar, location bar, or home button). | |||
* Use a 1 pixel pulsing progress bar at the bottom of the location bar to denote progress in addition to activity (safari 3 style, but not as heavy). | |||
* Don't require the user to hit the down arrow in order to access the first result in the awesome bar (complicated, details in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410837 bug 410837]) | |||
* Give the awesome bar the focus on open so you don't have to focus it yourself before navigating to a particular location | |||
* Load the frontmost tab on startup before the others (filed as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496458 bug 496458]) | * Load the frontmost tab on startup before the others (filed as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496458 bug 496458]) | ||
* Don't show the progress spinner for the address bar until 200-300ms have passed (it currently appears instantly, and makes it feel like you're waiting for results). | * Don't show the progress spinner for the address bar until 200-300ms have passed (it currently appears instantly, and makes it feel like you're waiting for results). | ||
