  1. Feature set. by Matt2000 · · Score: 5

    I hate to point out the obvious, but I've seen alot of posts here saying we've got a few milestones to go before the feature set is complete, and then speed optimizations begin.

    This does not make sense.

    IE has something like 70% of the browser market now, mainly because it just browses, nothing else.

    Mozilla Team: Please consider freezing the features right now. You already have the best rendering engine, prove it by making the necessary optimizations. Then we can all have a prominent UI based opensource app to point to as a success.

    "Stop eating your own dog food, and finish the damn browser."

    You don't need to know how to program. Every day about 100 bugs are reported. You can help by checking them for duplicates. Another way of helping is to test the bugs reported on Windoze and Mac and see if they also affect your Linux Box. This will prevent the people who can "program worth a lick" from wasting time that could spent fixing bugs.
