WFT?!!!! uh....WTF??!?!?!!! In my mind -- and I'm not alone -- Firefox bookmark handling is atrocious and should be the VERY TOPLINE FIRST thing that gets redeveloped. As it is, I'm walking away from using FF until it's fixed.

The one feature I really want to see, never seems to get other people excited (and some upset): zooming of text and images." Using Firefox since 1.5 and as far as i can remember, it supports zooming of text. Hit ctrl + [mousewheel] or ctrl + [+,-] i suppose that works under windoze, too. nice feature :) "Hmm…nothing here that gets me super-excited.

In fact the alphas already have it if you want to try it out. Also, Shamar, they're adding Ogg Theora and Vorbis for native video and sound. It doesn't look like it will be done in time to make Firefox 3.0, however. Tony, you'll be happy to find out that Firefox 3 will have full page zoom.

Safari is the most along with Konquer w3c compatible browser. People use safari because it works well and is fast. It also renders pages very well. Making unfounded clams with %'s out your ass is wrong. Remember tabs didn't come form firefox they came form opera another very good browser. The companies behind all the browsers will pick and choose the features the believe there customers are looking for and they will all copy each other. Currently firefox's bookmark system is no were near as good as safari's nor is its rss reader but that can be user preference. clevin, any site that works with firefox will work with safari or better on safari.

Apple is educating their users to be arrogant and stupid. and they apparently succeeded. I would really Love safari to learn something from others, rather than stick with its stinging behavior. hhhh, safari? safari's tab browsing isn't even 10% as good as firefox's, has 10% of firefox's features, work with 90% of firefox compatible websites, has 5% of customizability of firefox.

Personally i don't use firefox as my main browser because i prefer the spell check and smoother fonts on safari. Always good to see firefox improve though, the better it gets the better ie 8 will be and the better safari will be i love competition. Competition now means i need to write less and less sites with a special ie 6 only version because it messes up the layout. More firefox and safari users the better i say.

Cross-browser & cross-platform. 2.- Implement a "P2P" super HTTP implementation. The client-server architecture is a bit outdated in the era of BitTorrent and Zattoo. 3.- Improve SVG support. We need a "Flash" without "Flash". Meanwhile any new browser feature is just an "small feature". I thing the best of FF3 is the use of the Cairo library. It will allow for great things in a near future. My list of feature requests for the modern high-bandwith internet browsers:
