| Profile Management with Login Integration<br> | |||

Firefox already stores the users' details and usage in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profiles](-although the procedure is lengthy-). I want to give the user a management system where the user can log-in to the browser and the predefined settings would be loaded and the activity would be recorded to the profile .In a lot of universities,organizations and homes(parental control), the system adminstrator and the user are different, and the admin wants to authenticate or give some special rights to the user (-for which external clients or login-systems like cyberoam-). I can break down the whole system into 2 parts - form and settings. | Firefox already stores the users' details and usage in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles profiles](-although the procedure is lengthy-).

Already a lot of people([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=profile bug list]) are using profiles and these would give them a clean interface to do so.I believe this would be a great feature and can enhance the usability a lot. | Already a lot of people([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=profile bug list]) are using profiles and these would give them a clean interface to do so.I believe this would be a great feature and can enhance the usability a lot. | ||

| A page loading progress bar with bandwidth usage data counter | |||
| | |||
I recommend this as an improvement to the existing version of Firefox | |||
beta release. Add the page loading bar at the bottom of each page as | |||
well as place the user's internet bandwidth usage counter beside it. | |||
This data counter will display the usage for each webpage used in one | |||
browsing session. | |||
The data counter should be merged into a chart depicting the total | |||
webpage usage out of the user's internet plan's bandwidth. The features can | |||
be embedded into a jetpack. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript languages are needed. | |||
Source of programming languages: | |||
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developing_add-ons | |||
Source of Firefox-plugin usage out of CPU usage (for my reference on | |||
OS resource usage for my proposal): | |||
