Firefox Accepting Feature Suggestions for Version 3
Krishna Dagli writes to mention an article over at Ars Technica discussing the Firefox team's call for feature suggestions. Version 3 of the software is already in the works, and the team members are looking to the community for ideas on where to go next. From the article: "The wish list is long indeed, and it provides an insight into the desires of the browser community, and a look at the open source development process. While closed-source projects often ask their user community for feedback on requested features, the process is not usually open to the public. For Firefox 3, anyone can both suggest new features and comment on other people's suggestions. The feature requests are divided into categories, such as browser customization, privacy features, security, history, download manager, and other areas. There are suggestions for features found in other competing browsers, such Safari, IE 7 beta, and Opera. IE7 seemed to be featured most prominently, with requests for "low-rights mode," as well as more cosmetic features like skins that mimic Microsoft's browser."
It should make the intornet better, and with more stuff. I like features, it should have more features.
Good job assuming that anyone not having your exact experience is a liar or needs your sagely advice?
Note that it doesn't take extensions to crash Firefox, and some people, like myself and the OP, experience Firefox crashes more often than you. I have only the two default extensions installed.
Your solution is elegant, though: "Nothing is ever the fault of the software. Everything is user error. *continues Cheetos, Bawls, and pr0n 'research'"
