I'd create webpages that looked grat in IE but once I looked at them in Firefox -- the graphics seemed to lose their integrity. This turned out to be a good thing. I'd been using an old website editor to create my websites and this problem with Firefox forced me to learn Dreamweaver. Now all the graphics on the web page look good in both IE and Firefox. Firefox has since become my favorite browser. I've also downloaded their plug in for java scripts which has gone a long way towards reducing the spyware my computer routinely caught.

As long as i can think back, it has been this way - DL window open -> no menu appears Also i am soo much missing the "mac key functionality" of the up/down arrows to go to the end/start of a textfield - since while in this mode, they don't seem to serve any other purpose (the keys) do they ? thanks - know its wriong place, just felt like posting, excuse :D When will Firefox be able to open a new window on the mac version when just the download manager window is open ?

Also i am soo much missing the “mac key functionality” of the up/down arrows to go to the end/start of a textfield – since while in this mode, they don’t seem to serve any other purpose (the keys) do they ?

thanks – know its wriong place, just felt like posting, excuse :D

Make some security settings similar to the way Netscape 8 does it (with the security page linked to the tab, that's an appropriate place for it - as well as the close button). 2. Dynamic fonts! It would be so cool to not have to save 600 header graphics ever again (I build sites for a living, and man do I spend a lot of time cropping and saving header images, just to get the look of a certain font). This would help with SVG too (CEF fonts). 3. Support new file formats (SVG, jpeg2000, MNG). 4. Support some fancy filters like blur and dropshadows - would help with SVG too. 5. XULRunner is one of the cooler things I've seen in a while, I can't wait to have one Gecko engine to run all my Moz apps on (FF, TB, SB, etc.). 6. Oh, and please fix this annoying bug (it seems simple, I'd fix it myself - and have tried - but the source is a bit out of my league). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233533 Well that's my wishlist - you can get to these when you are done with the thousands of other more important things :-). BTW, if posting this here is in anyway inappropriate, then I apologize. I have some suggestions for features :-)

That was the original plan, and we seem to be slipping from it rather heavily. :( The answer for the “which features to put in 1.1″ _should_ be “whatever features were in 1.0, plus the 1.8 Gecko”.

I would suggest some kind of indication of what was blocked. Something similar to the yellow popup blocker indicator would be good.
