+|Improved ad filtering
+* A bunch of web sites get around pop-up blocking by having it event-triggered, rather than on-load. I hit ctrl-L on the Dilbert comic site, with maximum pop-up block settings in my browser (FX 1.5.0.1), and much of the time, it pops up an ad window. That sucks.
+* Have a menu option to the effect of "show all images", because there's some Akamai server that mostly servers ads, but also "order" buttons on some Yahoo stores and travel web sites
+* Possibly, replace ads with "Ad blocked. Right click to display"
+* Block links around ads. The whole pages shouldn't be a danger zone -- if I click somewhere blank on a web page to give my browser focus, I shouldn't be taken to the advertiser's web site.
+* Eventually, regexes I can type in myself
+* Then, learning by example. "Block this one" "don't block that one" and it figures it out
+* The goal should be to have Firefox work well out-of-the-box (rather than with n hours of poweruser tweaking), so relying on extensions is not the best idea
