Talk:Mozilla Firefox/Wishlist

From iA wiki

This page, and the companion Mozilla wishlist ought to be inserted into their various monstrosity bug trackers, with the resultant items linked back into this page. I'd be willing to bet that pretty much every desire has already been put into their bugtrackers anyways.. so some searching would have to be done before adding new items, of course. --Sy 19:04, 1 Oct 2004 (GMT)

The biggest issue I have is that Firefox is guaranteed to be crap out of the box. Any "real" features are served as "might work" plugin-projects. If you have a feature request, it's actually fairly likely that the Firefox has thought about it, and then said "naw, we don't feel like doing that" and then it gets relegated to some side project to find itself in some slightly-working state when you come along. Any future inquiries into that feature in firefox would then amount to "but project x is working on that, go there". This is the same issue that all of Linuxdom has.. relegating tasks to another project and then being too scared to take the reigns when a sorry half-project exists. Basically, Firefox is one fair browser which has a lot of tempting components which really time-surplused users could then integrate. Honestly, getting windows running with my common apps was easier than trying to figure out what parts of firefox needed to be modified with plugins. Ok, I'm done ranting now. --Sy 19:04, 1 Oct 2004 (GMT)
