In the days of the US Patriot act we all should be cognizant of the need to protect our rights for privacy from those who feel they have a right to investigate it for their own reasons, however noble or patriotic they seem. I am a user through Mozilla Firefox 3 Beta 5. I am disturbed that address bar history is kept even when other histories can be purged easily. This means that somewhere unavailable to the user is a file that persists in retaining personal information. Personal information should be kept by information privacy only when permission is given in advance. The default setting should be "keep no tracks" and the user should be called upon to choose what amounts of information is retained. Jim Bruce I am something of a civil libertarian.

I just need to drag and drop the address from the address bar to a folder or to the desktop (to create a shortcut). But what if I have for example 20 tabs open and I'd like to create shortcuts for everyone of them? Then I'll have to do the same thing in each tab and that takes time! But wouldn't it be great if it would be possible to create shortcuts for every tab in that current browser window a lot easier and at the same time for each. That's why a feature should be added in the menu called for example "Send all the tabs/web pages in this current window...(create a shortcut)". And then a option box would come and the user could choose to send them all to either to the desktop or to a folder he/she chooses. With a feature like that making shortcuts to web pages would become very easy and fast! What I really like in the FF2 is the ability create a shortcut of the current web page I’m viewing.

Integrate it into the existing look of Firefox like up top to the right of the Help menu. Plenty of room there. 4) Addons are so much easier in firefox, I agree with someone way up the list, dont make a permenant restart button, just make the addon install itself and restart itself back to the same page the user was browsing. Why ask just do it. 5) A permenant button for fast browsing (No history/passwords) is a great idea, one touch on/off is all we need. Nothing complicated please! 6) The FireFTP addon is one of the greatest addons in Firefox, a WYSIWYG with the majority of functions html coders need is defininetly lacking. 7) For the love of God, please stay away from becoming "VISTA RETARDED". Dont go security crazy, we just want to surf. 8) The Mailto function working with web based email services would be excellent, I would give my l/r nut for that. Im sick of copy/pasteing it. Thanks thats all I have. From a regular user standpoint, not a serious IT guy.

This is a feature that has long existed in IE...you don't realize how some of those little things really matter until you move from IE to something else!

I decided to make Firefox my default browser and try it out. I really like the CTL+ for zooming but have to go back to using IE7 as my default browser because Firefox doesn't wrap long lines which is a deal breaker. The whole ideal of a web browser is to help you read the web page so zooming and word wrapping are mandatory basic functionality above all else.

Here's the scenarion; I open a browser window enter search keyword into the search bar hold the ctrl key down and open the six to 8 most interesting links related to my keyword in separate tabs I find the page I wish to view and grab the tab by its title and drag it to the desktop which in turn opens a new single browser of only THAT page Then I conveniently close the browser with the unwanted keyword tabs.
