* I can sum this up very simply: Integrate everything that the [http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/tabextensions/index.html.en Tabbrowser Extensions] Add-on does into Firefox itself. This covers a lot of the points already on this list, such as saving tabs, customizing tab groups, adjusting tab sizes, using a single browser window at all times, setting behavior of links (open as background, open in new tab), changing the focus when closing a tab, having one close-button on the right, undo-close caching, creating a new tab when you type an address in the URL-bar or the search bar, specifying number of rows of tabs, duplicating tabs, mouse-wheel tab scrolling, and much, much more. Personally, I find Firefox next to useless without this extension and I don't understand why the developers don't have this advanced customization of tab behavior already built in. | |||
* When warning about closing multiple tabs, currently there are only two buttons: Close Tabs (which closes all the tabs) and Cancel (which closes nothing). Add a button that says Close Current Tab Only, which will only close the tab that was currently open before clicking on Close. | * When warning about closing multiple tabs, currently there are only two buttons: Close Tabs (which closes all the tabs) and Cancel (which closes nothing).

* Allow sending of tabs to system tray (or platform equivalent). This would better facilitate web apps such as google calendar by providing a lifetime outside of typical browsing sessions and help blend the lines with traditional desktop applications. | * Allow sending of tabs to system tray (or platform equivalent).

* Create a way to rotate a window in four directions to allow viewing long web pages on a laptop by rotating the laptop sideways. This is one of my favorite commands in Preview in Mac OS X. Please make sure the command to do and undo this can be made a shortcut. | * Create a way to rotate a window in four directions to allow viewing long web pages on a laptop by rotating the laptop sideways.

*Widescreen browsing : split long web pages into two windows side by side. Sync scroll bar in order that scrolling the first one (top of web page) will scroll the second one (rest of the same web page). | *Widescreen browsing : split long web pages into two windows side by side.

*Scroll Bar Re-position-- allow the right side scroll bar to be moved to the left side screen. Or even placed in the middle... having to move the cursor all around from menus to scroll bars etc... to the right side and then to top and botton is a PITA. (It could be placed on a column separator by user for convenience )... I keep panels at the top with menus, so the same could apply to the bottom scroll bar: allow it to be placed at the top just under the menu's or tabs. | *Scroll Bar Re-position-- allow the right side scroll bar to be moved to the left side screen.

*Scroll Bar Status: For very long pages, more info is needed rather than just the shaded scroll: place 1) an equivalent line number 2) an equivalent page number 3) a percentage number of the page: in order to help fine adjustment positioning or a reference point. | *Scroll Bar Status: For very long pages, more info is needed rather than just the shaded scroll: place 1) an equivalent line number 2) an equivalent page number 3) a percentage number of the page: in order to help fine adjustment positioning or a reference point. | ||
