Introduction

Below you will find the functionality I deem important to be implemented in a new version of firefox to make Firefox your "Future Online Desktop".

These are an overview of my personal ideas and some synthesis of ideas of other persons.

Please not that for the moment I only drafted some ideas, and have not made decent sentences out of them.

User Profile Log-in

Provide the ability to log-in with some personal settings. Default you should log-in without these.

This profile should contain:

    - saved passwords
    - bookmarks
    - extensions

Let system be able to login automatically to your "Firefox Account" (Cf. Hotmail account or Gmail account as I predict Google will come up with an Office solution based on FF in the future)

Also maybe enter a session time-out possibility for in public places.

Let me get into some more detail on some parts:

Saved Bookmarks & Passwords

Bookmarks could be saved on your own web-page using FTP-protocol to retrieve them. They could be saved in some password protected XML-file.

Saving of Extensions + Packaging + RE-Distributing

Your Extensions could be saved into some kind of package, as suggested [here http://wiki.mozilla.org/User_talk:Autodmc#Lean_and_Mean_vs._Super_Install].

One further suggestion I have is to allow the user to make his own install-files bundling his packages together with his firefox. This would make it easier for Companies or Universities to easily deploy a firefox with good suitable extensions concerning eg. Blackboard, Webmail, etc, to be distributed to students.

If universities make good extensions, this will make a lot of academic students use FF. And as we all know, they are the future decision makers in companies.

This would also encourage the distribution of firefox outside of the FF website, and thus reaching a much larger population.

Saved Passwords Protection

better security, not just being able to do "show passwords" require master password to view these, and do not ask everytime for master password when being on the site.

Ability to save settings and bookmarks online

Let these be saved, maybe even on own webpage enter link into user profile so that synchronisation occurs some kind of password protection (online bookmark-file (xml-based file)) [1]

Save the package with your own extensions as well with these. Make your own package of extensions. ([reference http://wiki.mozilla.org/User_talk:Autodmc#Lean_and_Mean_vs._Super_Install])
