I've used IE7,opera 9 but like FF because of it's simple design, easier to use and as of ff3 beta 4 there are lot of improvements... but certain things that i wish could be better is that 1.the location bar in xp (as of beta 4) does not look good, the Go button is always not available, so i have to click the reload button, this makes confusion, it would be better if the Go button like of ff 2 would always be available on the location bar. 2. It would be better if the drop down menu bar on the location bar would look more visible. 3. the stop button does not look good, the previous one as of ff 2 was nice. 4. the home button with red roof looks distracting. 5. it would be better if i do not loose my cache due to browser crash or sudden power failure which happens in ff 2 6. why can't we view the cache in firefox like of IE or opera (where we could view the jpeg or videos etc clearly from Temporary Internet Files in IE and cache in opera) 7. the most useful addon that i use is the real player browser record plugin but it is not compatible with ff 3 beta 4... I hope it will work with ff 3. 8. In ff 2 when i used to open new tab, it opens smoothly but in beta 4, i experienced blinking while opening new tab. 9. the save page as feature from right click within the browser window does not work on beta4, i had to save pages using ctrl+s and the download completed notification slide always pop up after i save pages. when i had 10 tabs open and using DTA downloading a file, the task manager showed beta 4 using 61,504k memory - Is this normal?

Since the file/back/forward/ and other browser commands are typically assigned to the left side, it just would make things easier and faster for me to have the scrollbar on the left side, since that's where most of my mouse work takes place. Just a plug in or a hack is all I want, not to change the way the world works.

Usability is all about uniformity, and if you start moving around standard elements of the GUI, you absolutely ruin the overall usability.

On a laptop, it'd be sweet to have the scrollbar on the left side, where most of the action of the cursor takes place. I'm actually surprised no one's done a plug in or a hack to do that yet.
