  1. firefox ideas on Incorporating Machine Learning into Firefox 2.0? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have no idea if this is feasable or even relevant, but I'll suggest it anyway. Something that watches the user's actions for repetitions or a pattern. Then, offer to create a script/macro for them to use, or modify settings. Examples: User consistently opens browser, then go to a specific URL. Program sees this and offers to set it as the homepage. This would be immediate (within a half-minute or so) in case the user just browses their home page, then goes elsewhere. On certain days, user consistently goes to certain sites (ie checking web comics or Slashdot :). The program would perhaps offer to create a set of daily bookmark sets that can be used. Example: Sites visted on Mondays would be in a folder marked "Monday". When I download an episode from Red vs Blue, I put it in a folder marked "Red vs Blue". The program would recognize that the file path is consistent for that URL, and change settings so that any download from that site is directed to the "Red vs Blue" folder. A web page consists of several subsequent download links, and the user is downloading them all one after the other. The program would offer to create a script to do the task for the user, and let them define folder settings and file names. Like I said, I don't know if this can be done or if its what you're looking for, but its an idea.
