* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3694/ Resizable Form Fields] - Lets the user resize form elements. Useful for making text areas larger when writing lots or after increasing font sizes. No UI needed. (Nominated by steve england) [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167951 bug 167951]

* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3035/ Paste & Go 2] - Allows the user to paste clipboard text into either the search bar or URL bar and automagically start the browser to act upon the pasted data. UI change only to right click context menu in URL bar and Search bar. (Nominated by steve england). [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216667 bug 216667] for URL bar RFE only.

* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1122/ TabMixPlus]: Only as example for the following features. From the user fears of Firefox 2: Add preferences UI for setting the tab min- and maxwidth, en-/disabling the scrolling of the tabbar and en-/disabling multi-tab-rows support - or to say it in another way: shortest access to the tab you want. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1939/ Text Link]: The way to open a plain text in a clean profile is an annoyance. There are also other extensions like this, auto-linkification would be handy (easy accessibility). (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/495/ TargetKiller]: It should be the users choice if a link open in the same tab, a new tab or a new window. Firefox should check if the target is the name of another frame in the page and if not, open it in the same tab. Many users don't know the middle click feature, maybe the manual page with the shortcuts should be opened on the first run? (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3414/ Dictionary Switcher]: Many people who are not english-native speakers use more than one dictionary and changing it manually depending on the site is an annoyance. This extension does auto-detection. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/134/ Copy Plain Text]: Copying some text and pasting it into a word processor often results in ugly format because the format from the web page is copied, too. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3682/ Add to Search Bar] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3698/ OpenSearchFox]: Add an input field to the search bar with the context menu. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/42/ OpenBook]: In Firefox 2, the user can only change the title and folder in the "add bookmark" dialogue. So you can not change the address after a GET query, add a keyword or change the description. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2195/ Extension Manager Extended]: For shooting down problems with a profile in which extensions are installed (maybe by add-on interference), there should be an easy way to show the end user which add-ons have changed in the last few days / weeks. This extension shows date and time of the last update (or if there is none, of the installation). (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/798/ Extended Link Properties]: At the moment, the user can not see how big a file is before he starts downloading, so there should be a tooltip or other access which shows the file size behind links to common download file types / file types which are not opened in the browser. ELP works with Firefox 2 if you change the maxVersion to 2.0.0.* . (Nominated by Archaeopteryx)
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/356/ Locale Switcher] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1333/ Quick Locale Switcher]: There is already a category for language packs in the add-on manager, but no UI way to change it. (Nominated by Archaeopteryx, sorry for so many wishes)
