On the mac version, the thing below the scrollbar that lets you resize the window should be transparent as it is in Safari. There should at least be an option to do this. | On the mac version, the thing below the scrollbar that lets you resize the window should be transparent as it is in Safari.

== The Addressbar == | |||
The addressbar is the absolute heart* of the user's experience of a browser. It is also the most complicated, diverse and unpredictable, because of the richness of URLs and the necessity of a keyboard to adjust them. Of all the buttons, menus, extensions and other features, surely the addressbar is the one that it here to stay, however many Web 2.0-10.0 we get through? We are not yet at the point where we can navigate without it. | |||
So I am amazed how little it has changed over the years. Then the excellent Locationbar^2 came along (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4014). What a creative idea! Locationbar simply must be incorporated into Firefox - it is a way that Firefox can once again set the agenda on the web. | |||
Sadly I am devoid of ideas, but I want to ask the question, what else can we do to the addressbar to take advantage of it? A parser, to interpret segments and offer alternatives (from a look-up) to load? Right-clicking reveals a helpful context menu: download all media from this level; correct the spelling and reload, all in one; execute/download/give help on e.g. a php script? | |||
