Firefox/Feature Brainstorming

We are currently in the early development stage for Firefox 3, and would like to collect all the ideas for feature enhancements in a single place. Our goal is to create a single index that lists what sorts of things we're thinking of doing, with links to more detailed ideas about implementation specifics or concerns, and targets for inclusion in the project.

Note: This is a list of feature enhancement ideas for all future Firefox releases, not just Firefox 3. Firefox 3 will include a subset of the items on this list.

How to use this page

• If you have ideas about features listed here please create a new wiki page off of your user page that outlines your ideas (mockups welcome!) and add a link to that page in the "References" column, or link to existing pages with examples, design thoughts, interesting articles, etc.

• If you have ideas for features not listed here please add them to the most appropriate group below. Include any references to more detailed implementation ideas.

• If you would like to comment on features listed here please do so on the discussion page rather than in the list itself.

• Etiquette:
  • Please include a summary comment that describes your change so that it shows up in the page history view.
  • Please make a User page for yourself with contact information so that if we need clarification of your idea, we can get in touch with you.
