Firefox, What I Would Like To See
Firefox is my default web browser, which can be mainly attributed to its amazing add-on support and customizability. But other browsers have emerged (Chrome) or improved to a point, that Firefox feels old fashioned in certain categories. Especially speed and performance wise. If you ever experienced how fast Chrome or Opera are opening the most complex websites, and then compared that to Firefox, you know that something is amiss there.
The Firefox developers on the other hand seem to favor interface and design enhancements. Yes, some developers are working on the faster JavaScript engine and overall performance of the browser, but those efforts pale in comparison to the amount of design changes over the last years.
The following list is my Firefox wish list, changes that I would like to see in the web browser. While some may be the same as yours, others may be completely different as it largely depends on how you are using the browser.
1. Block add-ons and plugins from being installed and activated automatically
I never understood that one. Add-ons and plugins are automatically added and enabled in the browser if they are placed in certain directories on the hard drive. That does not sound like a clever thing to do, and I always wondered why no one bothered to add protection against this in the browser.
