Firefox Tabs-On-Demand

2009-12-26T01:23:45Z

Instead of having one long row of tabs that you have to scroll through; the tab bar could be removed completely. Tab-view would then be accessed by one button on the browser toolbar or with a keyboard shortcut. The tabs will then be displayed in the main window with thumbnails of the content of each tab.

Efffective addonn management will lead to Faster Browser

2009-11-12T16:51:09Z

It is notice that more the addon slower the browser. it would be great if we could unable specific addon when it is requited. like for starting you do not need all the addons to be enabled.Search addon will work only when you go to search site & so on...

integrating something like a notepad

2009-11-23T18:00:44Z

an option which can help users to copy their data to their hard disk easily.An option can be integrated in browser so that user can easily paste their copied data from internet into the desired folder of their hard disk

skip between domains of visited websites

2010-01-16T02:29:46Z

i can only make small steps with the back and forward buttons. my idea is to make big steps between the visited domains.

when i follow a link of a website that leads me to a new domain and i follow some more links there i'd have to push x-times the back button if i want to go back to the page that lead me out ... my idea is a "big step back" button which skips all sites between the domain change and brings me back to the last page of the previous domain.

sorry for the bad english =(

md5sum after download

2009-11-17T15:38:51Z

When downloading a file check for the existence of the md5sums file in the same folder. If it exists calculate and compare the md5sum for the downloaded file against the corresponding line in the md5sums file. Alternatively look for a file with an appended extension of .md5 which should contain the md5 checksum of the file. If the checksum does not match offer to retry the download.

make a firefox or mozilla account for all user?

2010-02-04T04:17:35Z

With only one firefox account we can use it for all websites like personas, weave, addons-developement,... connect to social webs like twitter, facebook,... and it can be used as a open-ID.

doing better than Google Wave + OpenId and more

2010-02-03T02:57:18Z

I have a whole set of ideas that would start with something integrating concepts similar to those of Google Wave, with an identities system for a registered user of any site in a federation (potentially the whole Web) to access any other site under an identity that looks like an email address. See details here: http://trust-forum.net/

speedtab a quick way to get to a page

2009-11-03T00:37:26Z

Ok my concept is really simple. It would be great to make a small box that you can drag anywhere and have the ability to simply just type a number that you assigned to a webpage quickly getting you to that page in a new tab wouldn't it! plus it gets rid of a lot of clicking and finding with only 1 minor problem: you may have trouble remembering which button is what but that can be solved maybe a list on a sidebar saying which numbers go where for instance. this would be great for role-players for them to simply click on the box type a single number would be easier than looking on bookmarks, filling the bookmarks toolbar,or typing the name of a site. well that's all i have right now but I won't even try building it if no one likes it.

GoogleFire Pages

2009-10-26T22:09:00Z

The idea is to have a permissions-based community-shared, singly or shared ownership of an iGoogle Page for all to view - when permissions are granted. Also, for instance, my iGoogle Personal page could be viewable, changeable, addable - to another's iGoogle page or website or blog.

Goole Apps already has the implementation where an iGoole page is public, this would just allow other to modify elements, color, overall design (using perhaps either GreaseMonkey or Google's own design system for blogspot pages).

The concept being anyone could be given permission to "have some fun" re-doing a page. Not quite Wave, but something along those lines.

Of course all this genius stuf could only be made viewable using the appropriate plugins while using FireFox to view and edit. I'm thinking Ajax or Ajax-like.

In addition, a sharing of CLEO - I want my CLEO collection to be available for download - this is different in that to date only programmers and creators of plugins are allowed to post CLEO clumps, I want my 90 faves to be made available in a a nice bundle like CLEO-ized (Hey everybody, try ALL these that I use quite a lot of! Download here!)

Syncronised Addons between browsers (using weave?)

2009-12-01T15:47:13Z

I have used Firefox for years. I used to be really frustrated when I had to remember passwords and bookmarks in the days before Xmarks and weave. No i find that if i want to synce my add-ons between multiple versions of Firefox i have to copy my profile from computer to computer.

Fire fox is simply missing this feature, I have multiple add-ons that I use on each of my machines (uni, home, work and portable). Weave has enabled me to synce bookmarks, history, tabs and much more and it would be fantastic if it was able to synce add-ons as well.

No my idea for this is not to sync the actual files at first (maybe a possibility later on depending on sizes) but to keep a list of the add-ons install on each machine, then when a user installs weave they can sync the list. This list would then "pop up" on each device that has "un-sync'd" add-ons allowing the user to download all the add-ons they use with one click, rather than search for them and install them one by one.

The install could be managed automatically with no user intervention, the user just opens the browser, weave notices an out of sync add-on then auto downloads it for the user.

Thats my 2 pence worth. I would really use this and it would save me a load of time when I switch between devices or have to reinstall my OS..

Idea: Application focus

2009-10-28T14:34:22Z

Hello,

This is a theory on how applications could be utilized and combined. Here's a small list divided in to general categories which would give the user oversight and control of all data and communication.

• Data application: Firefox

functions: (file/web/webfile storage)browsing, cloud platform

• Communication application: Raindrop

functions: phone call, voip, instand (video)messaging, (social)networks, forums, sms, (micro)blog, contacts, rss, web conference, e-mail, e-learning, wiki editing

• Scedule application: Sunbird

functions: agenda, calender, tasks, to do list, memo

• Media application: Songbird

functions: (audio/video)streams, podcast, (desktop/web)audio/video player and photoviewer

It would be useful to have direct connections between applications when the definition of a file covers more than one category.

For example, using Raindrop to communicate in (social)networks but allow easy upload/download functions for pictures or video's to such sites with an indirect (via Raindrop> 'upload with Songbird') or direct (within Songbird) command. Another example, viewing your Wiki's alongside your desktop files and brows them as if they were right on your computer but also add the function to reach your Wiki's with Raindrop. So you can communicate and work together on it with other people.

Making Raindrop, Sunbird and Songbird accessible for desktop and cloud could generate a complete and flexible user experience. Giving them their own left and right sidebars (Songbird format) and toolbar for fast and efficient control. Switching between applications with toolbar scrolling.

Thank you for reading and feel free to comment.

Merge Stop and Reload buttons as one

2009-12-26T08:07:21Z

In my other browser, there are no separate Stop and Reload buttons, only one that do both. The reason is simple, if it has finished loading, there is no need for Stop; if it has not, there's no need for Reload.

The web browser as a platform for multiple applications and activities

2009-10-21T23:43:43Z

The web browser as a platform for multiple applications and activities

Short Summary: The future web browser as a platform for different applications, users and activities. This proposal was made in order to answer: “What would a browser look like if the Web was all there was? No windows, no unnecessary trappings. Just the Web.”

As multi-task users (programmers, designers, entrepreneurs, writers, etc) we move from one website to another, from one application to another, from one environment to another; all this in order to make our daily work.

With this in mind, the web browser should take the user into a context (according to the user’s information stored in the user profile) related with the user’s activities and choices, leading to a very suitable and comfortable user’s experience.

The main idea is to have a component that allows us to manage both environments (web and desktop) directly from our web browser in an easy way. This is, to manage desktop applications, shortcuts and folders from our computer as much as websites, web services, etc.

The structure:

Two small tabs on each side of the browser. Every time we roll the mouse over one of them, a panel appears. Both of the small tabs can be visible or not. If the user chooses not to see them, an invisible area will appear instead, but the action areas are going to remain in that place and working as always.

The “Applications” panel (on the right side of the browser) contains a list of the most used applications, websites, shortcuts, etc. This list is dynamically updated and the user has the option to add a new item to it. All these items are stored in the user profile. The apps panel also has the “web browser area”, that allows the user to drag any content that can be displayed in the browser or just click on it to get focus on the browser to keep navigating.

The “Windows preview” panel (on the left side of the browser) contains all the opened windows that the user has at the moment. In order to manage the windows “overflow”, there are preview groups in the top of the panel that allows the user to group the windows as he/ she likes. When clicking on one of the groups, the list of windows of that group will be expanded in the scrolling area. If the user wants to change that window to another group, he/she will have to drag the preview window to the new group icon. Each group can be named with a label (e.g. “Must read”, “Don’t forget this!”) or with a number.

The user can click on any window preview and keep working on the content (text, images, music, video, etc.) and drag that content to the browser and viceversa.

Main characteristics of the panels:

Auto hide: Whe the user roll the mouse over the “panels zone” they hide/appear again (the user can chose not to see them anymore).
“Windows preview” panel: “As you like”-organized groups of apps (the user can organized, manage, name them as he/she likes (I prefer to call them groups, rather than “workspaces”).
The “Applications” panel: Most used apps at the side, with the option for browse new ones.

By this way, user won’t need any “distraction” from changing to one environment to another, just enjoy from a complete experience directly from the web browser.

See my presentation!

Any comments are more than welcome! :)

Firefox Prism on steroids.

2010-01-27T04:52:22Z

Summary The idea behind my idea is almost similar to the Prism Concept, but with one minor detail. Instead of creating an appliation for the whole website you could save an website's asset. (Example: Only save the youtube movie to your application, or selecting multiple images and texts rearange them and save that as an application).

Additional Information The idea is pretty simple and could be implemented within the Prism Comcept. Instead of downloading the whole website you could just select different div's tags from the code with all it's assets or merging multiple files into one layout. So as soon as the popup menu opens it gies you a layout from the website on which you can choose from on what you wan't to save. This way you can filter out all unwanted information and assets from that page such as anoying banners or unneeded texual content. For one more remark is that by doing this you could save yourself some downloaded data, money and save the environment eventually.

Mozilla Icon, Home Page, Pin Icon, Tabs

2010-01-02T01:03:12Z

In the design of http://mozillalabs.com/conceptseries/2009/12/22/firefox-4-design-challenge/

Mozilla Icon is higher than "Home Page, Pin Icon, Tabs" (left,upper)

Mozilla Icon should be left of Home Page in the same row. So 10-15 px will be gained.

FireCloud, the Cloud in the browser

2009-10-25T02:21:20Z

Embed distributed storage (like Tahoe FS) and distributed computation (like hadoop) in the browser to create the client side cloud. Imagine the advantages of providing each user the full power of every idle computer in the world and the combined storage of every hard drive free space. Users should combine their limited resource into the People's cloud. Don't let corporate data centers be the only real computing force of the internet and the browser a window on whatever they want to show or sell. Opera got it right calling a related product Unite, in fact web surfers of the world, unite!

P2P Streaming Capabilites

2009-11-14T17:21:35Z

One of the main flaws of video- or audio- providing sites is that some sites with overloaded or slow servers take an inordinate amount of time to stream their media. A simple solution to this shortcoming is a "public cache" created on computers with this option enabled. The cache would store data compressed by the browser; When another browser notices a slow load time, it sends out a small data packet. Any browser noticing that the identifiers in the packet match those in the cache, it unpacks and transmits the data. The process would only work when both browsers are on, and all transfers would work in the "background," meaning that only unused processor power and bandwidth are used. I know that this is a very imperfect idea as of now. Comments are very welcome.

FireEngine, the distributed search engine

2009-10-24T23:31:18Z

Create a distributed search engine where the nodes are all participating browsers as follows: every browser stores any public pages that the user is browsing, after checking that they are not in the system yet (using a distributed hash table such as Bamboo). A new page is indexed and the information contributed to a distributed search engine such as pier, which is also used for searches. This solves in one move the problem of quasi-monopoly in search and the problem of keeping up with the growth of the internet (if a page has been browsed, it has been indexed) and the problem of rating pages (a popularity rating is immediately available). There are several technical hurdles to make this a reality, but search is too important to be in the hands of one company, evil or not.

Tab bar redesign: Tab Dock

2009-11-25T06:04:41Z

This is kind of a follow up on my answer there: http;//mozilla.stackexchange.com/questions/20/speedtab-a-quick-way-to-get-to-a-page/35#35

Actually, answering this post got me thinking... so here I go:

Tab Dock would act just like a dock, combining bookmarks and tabs in one. This is thought about with the new Windows 7 look, but also OSX's and many Linuxes; Windows 7 being the new, most advertised one, it is the one we see most, and thus think most about. This dock would enable bookmarks to be pinned to the 'tabdock' and then pages could be opened straight from it, with a fading or sliding style animation, so as to make the movement fluid and virtually connect the bookmark and the tab.

The docked tabs would be smaller than the loaded tabs, making it easy to fit more, and visually separating them from the rest. In my mind pops up that addon I used to like, before I completely removed the bookmarks from my Firefox: Smart Bookmarks Bar, which can be found here: https;//addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4072. It was an effective way to fit more and see less, but still have (nearly) the same amount of information.

But then if you compare that with an application dock bar, you realise the giant difference between both: the web is dynamic and has plenty of pages you might want to access, while a desktop application is more static and can be accessed within one window. Fitting the web in a dock bar suddenly seems more difficult than fitting an elephant into a 2CV. But then again, a feature of Win7's taskbar (which might be present elsewhere, but I haven't bothered looking) can be applied here: what about making docked tabs for websites, and regroup bookmarks as one... that's something to explore later.

Quickly, a crude mockup, with the docked tabs at the right [G (Google), M (Mail)], and the loaded tabs to their left, and then the '+' tab.

Firefox Workspaces

2009-10-28T23:16:07Z

I'd love to be able to quickly switch between contexts within my browser, each with its own history, open tabs, (add-ons?), personas, etc. The idea would be to improve my personal productivity by, for example, having "Work", "Personal", and "Fun" workspaces set up. When I want to focus on work, I can just flip to my "Work" workspace that has all my tabs, bookmarks, etc for work. When I'm done for the day, I can just switch to my "Personal" workspace and do stuff there without disturbing the tabs and other stuff in my "Work" workspace, etc.

Creating new workspaces should be as simple as "Edit > New Workspace" or somesuch, so if I decide to start researching something (kitchen renovations, the history of cryptography, Christmas shopping), I can quickly and easily start a new workspace for that task. Optionally, allow workspaces to be password protected (which would be best for the Christmas shopping one).

You can emulate this idea in a way simply by using new profiles, but new profiles are a pain in the butt -- most people don't know how to use them, and you have to restart your browser, etc. People have also suggested bookmarking sets of tabs and flipping between them, but that really doesn't work at all.

Extra bonus points if workspaces can be synced via Weave.

Rapid Access: Pie menu without drawbacks.

2009-12-31T23:58:57Z

I have the need for some functions to be accessed via a pie menu but I did not want to discard the normal (linear) context menu. It can take more items and is a standard.

I developed an interaction concept for having both combined without the drawbacks of modes like pressing a additional button or selecting the menu one want beforehand.

Try it here: normal + Pie

The way the interaction works: (for those who don't want to try...)

you click the right mouse button: context menu (as usual) The context menu has a pie menu indicator: hover it and the pie will appear while leaving the context menu as it is. This is possible since the pie is not a full circle: the space of the botton-left quarter is taken by a part of the (linear) context menu.
you press the right mouse button and briefly hold it (just a fraction of a second or a slower click) the pie menu appears.

The context menu still apeares if the mouse is released when the pie menu is shown but no item selected.

Notifications in Firefox

2010-01-03T06:21:08Z

Add functionality to Firefox to, in the event of a recieved IM in gTalk, IRC or Facebook Chat, have a little badge (think iPhone) appear on the Windows 7 taskbar icon for Firefox, or as a baloon window in XP and Vista?

A concept of a webpage element loading control and a loading screen.

2009-12-30T09:02:33Z

I was thinking of having the HTML documents / pages to have IDENTIFIERS, for the whole concept to work.

EXAMPLE

Within the html syntaxes... a COMMENT named TEXT (and another COMMENT at the end) will indicate that the syntaxes between the two are text, and you get the point =P

I was also thinking of having the browser to load a "webpage loading screen" in-between loading pages. This will hide the next page in the background until it is fully loaded.

EXAMPLE (IN WORDS =P)

You are now viewing the search results from a Google search, then you clicked a link, the browser then displays the loading screen (somewhat above the current webpage).

In the loading screen, users can see the total internet speed (somewhat like the one in the download window, the one that says "10 of 50MB @ XX KB/s"), the precentage of the loading progress, the type of elements that the next page contains (like size (in KB) of text, number of images (and average size), Javascript, Flash, Hyperlinks, etc.) and allows users to choose which element is not to be loaded (or to be loaded).

EXAMPLE

You are loading a typical webpage. This page consists of 7 images, text, some hyperlinks, a flash video, Javascript, and CSS. In the loading screen, you can choose whether to load only the images or the flash video, or to choose only the text (and either to display the alternate text for images), and to enable CSS and / or Javascript. You also see that you have an Internet speed of 1MBps, and the next page is 67% loaded.

CASE 1: WEBPAGE LOADED 100% with NO error - A "Go!" button will be visible, and clicking it will remove the loading screen, revealing the next webpage.

CASE 2: WEBPAGE DIDN'T FULLY LOADED / LOADING FAILED, DUE TO ERROR / NO CONNECTION / TIMEOUT - The error is displayed. A "Go anyway..."(for ERROR), "Retry to load without executing the error"(for error / timeout and no connection (change text to "Retry to load without loading the slowest-loading element") will be visible. Clicking "Go anyway..." will remove the loading screen, revealing the webpage, and clicking the other will command the browser to reload the page without executing the erroneous script / slowest loading element.

CASE 3: WEBPAGE WAS DETECTED OF MALWARE / SPYWARE / BLACKLISTED SITE - A "Return to previous page!" and "Go anyway..." button with a checkbox with text "I UNDERSTAND THE RISKS" will be visible. The former will load the previous page; and the latter will load the malicious page.

CASE 4: CASE 2 failed - A "Retry again!" and "Return to previous page" buttons will be visible.

And an extensive option in the loaded web page whether to load a blocked element.

EXAMPLE

You finished loading the typical page, and you blocked all 3 flash videos. You then wanted to view the second video, you then right-click it and choose "Load Element", and the browser will load it instantaneously.

What do you think? I am sorry for not having any image. =|

Sessions in Firefox : session by navigation themes to split the history

2009-12-28T21:45:28Z

This is an article I wrote on my website, and I don't know if I can all past here. Because it's very easiest to speak and discuss here than in the comment of my article.. The original article is here : Session in Firefox there are a lot of picture, but I'm a young user and can't display it. Sorry.

brief summary of your idea

I propose to make browsing "sessions", each with its own history and bookmarks. That will reduce the size of the history, simplify his browsing, and allow to find without problem websites visited there some time on the same theme. The basic idea is similar to that of profiles, with a separation much thinner : we can changing of session in two clicks without changing window. In summary :

One session = one history
The change of session done in two clicks and does not need to open a new window
Bookmarks that are not in the current session are moved aside but available
Addons are shared, with the possibility to determine their presence or absence of each session.
Settings can be customized for each session
We can export and share sessions

Introduction

The principe of sessions is to split navigation history in several parts according to the navigation topic, to the reasons of browsing. Because :

we go on Internet to complete tasks, objectives,
for each task, we visit a lot of websites,
we often makes tasks in several times,
we do the tasks one by one...
...but we do a lot of tasks per day

In concrete terms, we have we have different "themes" navigation. For instance, I spend an hour to compare schools for my orientation, then I visit 50 links recovered via Twitter, then I make a search on a subject that I had not adress for several months, then I search pictures for a montage, then I read somes jokes. Firefox crash when I manage one history for more than a month as a simple list, so I don't think that a view in 3D or with pictures can completely be the solution (although I am impatient that these options are available). I think we must, in addition, split the history.

Demonstration

I navigate to read informations on my "default" session, when a friend sends me a link who interest me. I open it, and hit on a website that sells shoes and who seems interresting. But I want finish my article first. In the tab of e-commerce website that I just opened,I click on the session "web-purchase", which remove the website in the history of the "default" session. Then, I return to my article. selection of a new session - mock-up in firefox

Later, I decided to go look at this pair of shoes : I return on the corresponding tab and I begin to browsing. I open a new tab, it was in the "web-purchase" session. I have quickly many tabs in this session, I would separate them from other. I click on "move my session in a new window" mock-up of the integration of the button in the firefox interface

Firefox transfer my tabs of the current session in a new window, who include its specific add-ons : in this example, it is add-ons who verify trust of the websites. view of two different sessions

I continue to prepare my purchase, when I remember that I have a project to finish. I "capture" my session : this save my tabs, and close it. Then, I start my "search" session. Precisely, during his last use, I captured a few tab that Firefox propose me to re-open. I make it, and I get back my session as I had left two day ago, and the history has not grown.

Addons

Addons will be shared (this is not the case with the actually profiles), no need to reinstall them on each session. But as there are addons specific to a site or to a task, I would like customize a session like a profile. For "web-purchase", I can add an addon who allows me to verify the trust level of the website, and disable Adblock. I can also have a "webmaster" session with my 500 development's addons without add toolbars on other sessions the addon manager with button for session

In the addon manager, I can define their activation per session. Each one is everywhere by default, but I can choose to add/delete on the session by simply clicking on its icon before de addon in question. Addons and the theme peculiar to the session are active than when we open/deplace the session on its own particular window.

For the themes, I don't think it was useful to define their presence, but we will can choose a theme per session.

Change session

The session's mechanism must not perturb the browsing. No need to open a new Firefox window to change session, that must to be simple. It's not necessary to make the "files > launch a new profile > web-purchase > don't close the current profile" then slide alls the tab into. One or two clicks and it's done. If I have two session A and B and I want to work only with B :

I can "capture tabs of the A session" : that save and close its tabs. Later, when I re-open A, Firefox suggest me to reestablish the tabs previously captured.
Otherwise, a button allow me to transfer all the tabs of B on a new window, that allow to have the addons and theme specific to B.
I can also "hide tabs who are not in this session", but this is less useful : that hide the A's tabs without save them, and I don't have the addons specific to B.

Bookmarks

If I want to bookmark a page, I just click on the star in the adress bar, that adds it on the bookmarks menu : not really necessary to search a title/folder/tag because we don't have a lot of bookmarks, and we bookmark less because the history is more relevant. Bookmarks of other sessions are in specific folders to allow to access it anytime, and to avoid to re-bookmark a page. They are moved aside but availables. view of the bookmarks menu with differents folders

Settings

The settings (tools > settings) of Firefox will also be shared by default. But, like for addons, it is possible to to make specificity for the sessions. For example : I'm on the "web-purchase" session and discovered that I can be inform when redirects. I set this option, and I have two choices for validate :

"only apply to this session" : changes only apply on "web-purchase".
"apply changes on every session" : changes apply on every session, but only the settings who are just set will take effet. That is to say if I click, I will be informed when redirects on every sessions, but the other settings specific to "web-purchase" will not be applied on other sessions.

Notation : addon's specific settings will be useful, but I don't see how to do...

Sharing and synchronization

I can export my session in a file to share it with a friend. On the occasion of a project, he can for example see websites I have already consults, and observe what queries yielded the best results.

With Weave, I can synchronize just some sessions, this allows me to don't let my history at work while accessing to an history and bookmarks concerning to my work.

Should we keep profiles ?

Should we keep profiles or allow sub-sessions ? For instance, for several users ? Profiles remain useful when we have two opposite browsing, eg one for work and one for leisure. I waiting for the thought about identity in the browser, who probably will impact my reflexion.

I actually use ProfileSwitcher who allow to have a default profile and a (budding) webdesigner, with all extensions and bookmarks who come with. This two profiles are distincts, but I often have to install an addon on the two profiles, or a theme, a bookmarks. Since they are separates, I have a highly level of customisation, but it's more complicated...

Color-Bar instead of Tab bar

2009-12-27T06:07:44Z

Color-bar is the bar on bottom of firefox (above status bar). It has some color boxes, each color box is a tab; when your mouse is over on it, a thumbnail of that web will be displayed. Each color box has a access key, and you press Alt+Shift to show those access keys.

The color-bar is smaller than tab bar, it may be 5px in height.

Dynamic URL Bar for current URLs and hovered links URLs

2009-12-23T19:32:48Z

A simple idea to loose the status bar (which takes place just for getting infos of where the link is pointed to) : change the URL in the URL bar whenever a link is hovered, and put back the current URL when it's not the case.

I really like knowing where the link is going (that's the first thing I change when installing Safari), but I think that there is no point wasting the space of a status bar.

I think that deployment of the Firefox browser on the Xbox 360 is possible and could be made available on the Xbox 360 Marketplace for a fee or for free depending upon final costs.

As a platform, the Xbox 360 has yet to offer such basic online amenities as general web browsing and although I know that it would never be as natural or as easy as a browser used on a PC or laptop, but having the ability to just quickly check the emails in between changing games or getting the latest news.
