Revision as of 04:59, 9 July 2011

Personal homepage: ACD - HUB

Overall the purpose of this write-up is just to enlighten others by bringing together some of the more intelligent browsing enhancements I've found. I'm also hoping that actual Firefox user-interface developers might consider setting the browser up as I have, but not everyone thinks like I do. Many others besides myself have suggested the following changes but I'm afraid those people and I may just be power-users.

OUTSIDE RESOURCES:
- MakeUseOf - The Winners of ‘Extend Firefox’ - Best Firefox Addons
- Mozilla Wiki - Talk:Firefox:3.0 Tabbed Browsing
- Mozilla Wiki - Firefox/Feature Brainstorming:Default Browser UI

CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLES:
- Firefox eBay Edition

FIREFOX DERIVATIVE IMPLEMENTATIONS:
- Blackbird
- Galeon
- Kirix - Strata
- Kylo.tv
- Miro
- Orca Browser
- Qtrax
- Songbird
- Wyzo
- ZeeVee - Zinc

DEFAULT INTERFACE PROBLEMS: [ more ideas can be found here ]

  BUTTONS:
   - New Tab button
      [ isn't a default but should be the first button on the toolbar ]
   - Home button
      [ is a default that nobody probably uses ]
   - Options menu button
      - add a button for the add-ons prompt
      - would help replace need for menu-bar
      - example: Options Menu

  WINDOWS:
   - Preferences, Add-ons, and Downloads
      [ each opens a new window instead of using the tabbed browser interface, they should load in the sidebar or in a separate tab ]
   - New windows
      [ new windows should only be used/allowed for separate Firefox profiles, TabGroups Manager should supplant the necessity for windows ]
   - Application window borders and title-bar
      [ for an example just look at the Hide Caption / Hide Chrome extension ]

  MENUS:
   - Menubar (at the top of the browser)
      [ people rarely use this and Internet Explorer already dumped it, Hide Menubar / Autohide Menubar ]
   - Send Link option
      [ what is this? it never seems to work ]

  TABS & TAB BAR:
   - Tab sizing
      [ most websites only need an icon-sized tab like FaviconizeTab ]
   - Tab grouping
      - more ideas can be found here
      - should use menus not additional tab-bars to select tab-groups
   - Floating tabs
      [ should be possible to float a tab, like picture-in-picture only for your browser ]
   - Double-click on Tab-bar
      [ should create new tab, Tab Clicking Options ]

  ICONS:
   - Loading statusbar and toolbar icon (throbber)
      [ each tab in Firefox shows the loading status, is it necessary to display this information anywhere else? Fission is the way it should be implemented if at all ]

  LOCATION BAR:
   - Integrate search
      [ fix this so it doesn't allow URL misspells to be redirected to OpenDNS ]
   - Paste options
      [ add a paste-and-go option to the contextual menu, like how Maxthon's location-bar is ]

  OTHER:
   - Download manager
      [ integrate (torrent / Metalinker / ZIP) support ]
   - OpenID integration
      [ VeriSign's OpenID SeatBelt extension is really buggy but the idea is great, another tool is Sxipper ]
