Platform/Wanted

This is an attempt to keep track of features that are very commonly requested by extension/application developers that the platform is currently lacking.

Please do not just add your favourite feature to this list, it will be added to as features are clearly widely needed by watching requests in the development channels and newsgroups.

Inter-Process Communication

nsIProcess is pretty poor for running external programs.

HTML parser

There is currently no easy way to parse some file/string as html without using some kind of hidden iframe or other hacks.
