Added znerd's comments: printing web pages and ellipsis on text overflow
Extensions could provide more complex functionality, like processing doap files into a set of bookmarks related to the project for fast access to various resources.

===Printing web pages===
The printing of web pages is an area that could use considerable improvement. Rendering pages for display on a screen gets a lot of attention from Mozilla developers and the end result, Gecko, works great in this respect.
However, printing seems to get a lot less attention. It would be nice if, for example, the printing-related CSS properties would get a decent review, improvements where needed and some automated tests.

===Ellipsis on text overflow===
Secondly, support for [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/text-overflow text-overflow: ellipsis] (see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312156 bug 312156]) would be very much welcomed, as this is an example of a minor issue that causes many web developers great grief. A lot of [http://devongovett.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/text-overflow-ellipsis-for-firefox-via-jquery/ different] [http://www.rikkertkoppes.com/thoughts/2008/6/ complex] [http://www.jide.fr/emulate-text-overflowellipsis-in-firefox-with-css workarounds] have been employed just to get around this. Adding native support would really help a lot.
Note: Simon Montagu appears to be working on the bug.
