SVG   within   <img>

SVG stands 4 Scalable Vector Graphics, but today in FF there is abs. no way to sizing SVG in a standard XHTML document. (e.g. sizing to 100% of a 30% width cell of 100% width table of BODY.) So SVG support is little useless today in ff.

The real power of SVG is in Sizing & Animating (hm, no mng no apng).

Sizing is a clear way.

So, lets define SVG goals !

This is not within the scope of Firefox 2, as this requires a core change. I believe the devs are working, or will work, on getting SVG Full working for Gecko 1.9 (Firefox3) as you can see from the Roadmap Scratchpad.

Some suggestions from someone who has played around with FF

Hi-

I've devoted a ridiculous amount of time to experimenting with Firefox. I've configured it to do a lot of really cool things, ranging from storing zillions of pages of web-content, to minimizing GUI clutter and surfing-related hand movements.

What would really be great would be:

  1. The ability to use multiple search engines simultaneously with as few button clicks and mouse gestures as possible. I have a lot in my search window, and I have them ordered according to frequency of use, but I don't have the ability to search them all simultaneously. There was an extension, but it wasn't very good.
  2. The ability to hide/remove any and all unwanted elements from any toolbar to avoid redundancy.
  3. Incorporation of certain extensions into Firefox; specifically, Adblock, Crash Recovery / Session Saver (an internal alterative is being worked on), Download Statusbar, IE Tab (quite unlikely), DownThemAll!, Menu Editor, Linkification, Pagesticky Pearl Crescent Page Saver, Blogging Tools, Remove it Permanently [<----This Extension is revolutionary], Scrapbook, Search Engine Ordering, SwiftTabs, and Too many tabs!; or their functional equivalents. In my opinion, these can be the most useful functions provided by Firefox.
  4. Subsidize extension & FF compatibility so extensions are upgraded in a more timely manner.
  5. Built-in Stealth Mode that activates TOR and privoxy, without having to switch profiles or change configurations and settings.
  6. Syntax highlight for files in ftp (like php, coldfusion, asp...)
