-'''These are bugs that:'''
+This is a prioritized, abridged list of the bugs that the UX team thinks are important. The full version of what we're tracking can be found at [[Firefox/Projects/UX Priorities]], but this is a great list to start with if you want to help out making Firefox 4 better.
-* do not currently have blocking status,
-* are not polish bugs (of which there are many, and with the understanding that we should be able to block on polish bugs when we get to that phase, especially theme-related)
-* the UX team considers as major wins for Firefox 4,
-* we'd like to see people pick up, provide fixes for — or possibly even mark as blockers.
-These do not include issues from: Panorama (Aza is building an equivalent list of his own), Sync (not being staffed by Johnath, if I understand it correctly), and the Add-ons Bar (which we have a hard time evaluating from a UX perspective right now). It's not because we think these aren't important.

-# (Add-ons) Removing duplicate add-ons {{bug|596392}} - critical to providing a fast user experience, users may only give us one more chance when they hear 4 is out
-# (New Theme)  Tabs in titlebar on Windows on maximize {{bug|572160}} (available as  option on the Mac) (ask jimm)? - major part of the reason tabs on top is a better interface

-# (Performance) URL autocomplete {{bug|566489}}
-# (Dataloss) set default of browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 0 {{bug|424872}} - we need to save users from dataloss, and then figure out any security implications (timeout, clear on exit)
-# (Performance) Ghost out the reload button instead of ghosting the Stop button so we don't add N ms to every page load, {{bug|596428}}
-# (New Theme) Display the domain in black and the path in grey {{bug|451833}}

-# (Add-ons) Chromeless by default, option to opt for it on {{bug|585445}}
-# (Tabs) Tab multiselect {{bug|566510}} — Has a really well thought-out design spec and implementation; it's a feature no other browser currently has
-# (Performance/Notifications) Non-modal JS dialogs (alert/confirm/prompt) {{bug|59314}} (Dolske has WIP, some missing back-end pieces, at risk)
-# (New Theme) Move RSS button to secondary UI {{bug|578967}}
-# (Tabs) Groups from Panorama should show in List All Tabs {{bug|596017}}

-# (Tabs) Eliminate redundant text when multiple tabs have the same partial title {{bug|583890}}

-'''Stephen's list of theme bugs that are not polish-related'''
+'''In order of priority:'''
-[[Firefox/Projects/New_Theme/Timeline]] for images that illustrate these:
+#[Add-ons] Blocking third-party extension installs: {{bug|596343}}:  — critical to a fast user experience, especially on startup.
+#[Add-ons] Removing duplicate add-ons: {{bug|596392}} - critical to providing a fast user experience, users may only give us one more chance when they hear 4 is out
+#[New Theme] Tabs in titlebar on Windows on maximize: {{bug|572160}} (available as option on the Mac) (ask jimm)? — expected functionality now that other browser have it, and makes good use of screen space.
+#[Performance] Painting of browser window slow compared to 3.6: {{bug|594821}} - looks really broken right now
+#[Performance] URL autocomplete should be enabled: {{bug|566489}} — how quickly a user can get to a site is a key part of the perceived performance, we also need to do a better job with the audience that “speaks URLs”
+#[Dataloss] Set default of browser.sessionstore.privacy_level to 0: {{bug|424872}} — we should to save users from dataloss, and figure out  security implications (timeout, clear on exit)
+#[Performance] Ghost the reload button instead of ghosting the Stop button so we don't add N ms to every page load: {{bug|596428}} — this makes every page load seem slower
+#[New Theme] Display the domain in black and the path in grey: {{bug|451833}} — makes domains more readable and prominent, parity with other browsers
+#[Tabs] Animated tab dragging/detaching: {{bug|455694}} (just the detaching: {{bug|485105}})

+#[App tabs] External links from within app tabs should open in new tabs: {{bug|575561}}
+#[App tabs] Chromeless by default, option to turn it back on: {{bug|585445}} — an important reason why app tabs are useful and better
+#[Tabs] Tab multiselect: {{bug|566510}} — Has a really well thought-out design spec and implementation; it's a feature no other browser currently has
+#[Performance] Non-modal JS dialogs: (alert/confirm/prompt) {{bug|59314}} (Dolske has WIP, some missing back-end pieces, at risk)
+#[New Theme] Move RSS button to secondary UI: {{bug|578967}}
+#[Tabs] Groups from Panorama should show in List All Tabs: {{bug|596017}}
+#[Tabs] List All Tabs menu should list closed tabs/windows for more obvious undo — Tabs belong in the tab menu!
+#[Add-ons] Blocking add-ons that are more than two versions behind, compatibility-wise (ie. an add-on that doesn't work with 3.6 nor with 4.0 shouldn't stop you from upgrading your 3.5 to 4.0)
