What's the right approach to make sure the web sites change rather than the AOL customer base?
If you know of a major site or tool that doesn't work with Mozilla, report it as a Tech Evangelism bug. Mozilla engineers will help the site maintainer upgrade the site to use web standards correctly.
There is something you can do to help make major sites more compliant with web standards. Report them as Tech Evangelism bugs in Mozilla's bug tracking system. Then Mozilla engineers can assist in making the site adhere to the standards.
Sorry, you haven't given us any examples. You've just given vague descriptions of problems without so much as providing bug numbers, specific Java applets that don't work, or any details whatsoever. Examples must be specific!
Laugh all you want about applets - this affects a lot of web pages.
Could you give us just one specific web page that breaks in a recent build of Mozilla with the 1.3.1 or 1.4 plug-in? There's only one applet I know of that doesn't work, and that's because of a problem in the constant pool -- I've already filed a Tech Evangelism bug on it.
If you read the release notes for Mozilla 0.9.8 you'll see how to get Java applets working by installing Sun's JRE and copying one file. There are some bugs in Java support that could be fixed, but copying that one file has worked fine for me.
It sounds like if Mozilla could send and receive mail through an Exchange server directly without using IMAP, you could use Mozilla mail. Could someone who knows more about this please enter a bug on the MailNews component?
I still don't think Mozilla is better at IE at loading pages. Mozilla strictly adheres to the W3C standards, which is good, except the real world standard these days turns out to be IE. W3C's standard still lacks some pretty basic things like having an image as a background in a table cell, which IE handles fine. Until all of those little nuances are added, I won't agree that Mozilla renders better.
Mozilla handles an image as a background in a table cell, too. Let us know what nuances really do need to be added to Mozilla to make it work better with IE-standard pages on the web.
If you have opinions about what features should be added and what the priority of Mozilla developers should be, I suggest that you use Bugzilla to communicate directly to Mozilla developers. You can enter requests for enhancement, bug reports, and vote for the issues that you think should have priority. I'm sure doing that will be far more effective than posting your opinions here!
Actually, typing y, down-arrow, enter gets me to yahoo.com in just three keystrokes in Mozilla. But if you really want the Ctrl+Enter feature you describe, just vote for bug 37867.
It's just a hypothetical "universe" for use in a mathematics class, and someone wrote ray-tracing software to determine what vision would be like in that universe. I don't see that having any bearing on physics in this universe!

Here's the bug list for text editor bugs.
Here are the buglists so you can vote for the bugs and add useful comments:
Roaming access
LDAP
Composer
I don't know what the similar pages button is or what refrech bookmakes should do.
Window cloning is a great idea. It's covered by Bug 18808.
Better integration with Outlook would be good, but I'd rather use Mozilla instead of Outlook. What features of Outlook would you need?
Here are the bug numbers:
Bug 43015 for attaching multiple files with the File dialog
Bug 69528 for attaching multiple files with drag-and-drop
Does Moz reload the page when you want to view the source now?
Yes, it still does. See bug 55583 for details.
The ability to put newsgroups into folders is requested as part of bug 60764. If you want that feature in Mozilla, go vote for it.

Mozilla is slow with a large Slashdot page probably because it's a large table, and Mozilla is slow on large tables. See bugs 74888 and 54542.
That is reported as bug 105619, and it's being worked on right now. It's planned to be fixed for 0.9.9.
I'll save you some trouble. The bugs in MNGs are bug 44866 - MNG dosn't support Chromaticity correction and ICC profiles and bug 116307 - MNG alpha partly broken.

Mozilla has gestures, too!
According to the roadmap, Mozilla 1.0 will be released on or shortly after April 5.
Very tiny black holes evaporate very quickly due to Hawking radition. The radiation is actually the black hole itself exploding.
